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.

You've got lots of great info here, Si Won, but make sure you've got a clear idea of the reason they are doing this. The organizers want to raise our awareness of the amount of plastic dumped into our oceans. It's gross, and really bad.

I agree with Mr. Hughes. A few fact stuff thats wrong, but the general idea is really good :)

That is really good post but I think you need to add more why David De Rothchild made this boat. It is really good!!!
Good job here, Si Won but like Young Woo, maybe you could add the whole purpose of Plastiki to make it better. You're missing some facts, but it's a good post.
Pretty good job on this plastiki blog post. You had the same information with me.
