The Plastiki is a 60 foot boat made out of 1250 plastic bottles. This boat is supposed to be sailed from San Francisco to Sydney, that is a long journey, and the whole reason for this is to show people that plastic bottles do not go to waste, you can use them somewhere else, and you can do something else with them. Each of those bottles is filled with gas to help the boat sail. It is a very high tech boat. David De Rothschild came up with the plan, and he wanted to show everyone the reason of collecting plastic bottles. There will be six people on the boat sailing, including De Rothschild.
