Plastiki is a boat made out of 12,500 recycled plastic bottles filled with air. David de Rothschild came up with the idea to build this awesome Plastiki boat. Not the entire boat is made out of plastic, but only the bottom part that it floats on.
The goal was to ride the Plastiki from San Francisco to Sydney. That is 11 miles of travel. It took them 3 years to build the boat.
To build it David de Rothschild first sketched the boat and then they 
actually build it.
actually build it.
David de Rothschild wanted to surprise people that it is possible to make a boat out of many recycled bottles.

Nice info on the boat and people, Emma, but what about the real reason they're doing it? It is to raise awareness of all the plastic waste in the ocean. It's really gross! :-(
Nice job Emma. You got good info for the plastiki post. Keep up the great work.

Nice job!!! I never knew that it took 3 years for David De Rothchild to build Plastiki! Good job mentioning that David wanted people to show that a boat is possible to be made out of many recycled plastic bottles.
Nice job here Emma. Nice picture of the route. I agree with Mr. Hughes-maybe you could include the real reason David de Rothschild is doing this Plastiki project??
Good job on the facts and the finer points of the information. Overall it is a good post but like Mr.Hughes and Hyun Jin,i think you should include why David de Rothschild is doing this.
