Plastiki is a boat that was made with 12,500 recycled bottles. This boat is 20 meters long, and this idea was made by one of the 6 crews, David de Rothchild. He's going to sail all over the Pacific Ocean, starting from California, USA and finally going to reach Sydney in Australia. Some people think that it is not possible to sail from California to Sydney just by a boat that is made by plastic bottles, but the crews all think that they are going to make it. It started sailing from March 20, 2010 which was 10 days ago, and it is now passing Cape Horn, the bottom part of South America. This expedition started because of the amount of air pollution and global warming. David de Rothchild said that the Pacific Ocean is just one big chunk of trash and the he decided to cross the Pacific Ocean by boats made by 12,500 recycled bottles.
