Plastiki


FYI it's flat...

So let's get into the Plastiki!!! A sailboat designed to be a floating showroom of non-emitting futurist ideas that are simple, elegant and wholly attainable. The boat's buoyancy comes from some 12,000 plastic bottles and it's frame, sails, cabin, and rigging are made up of recycled and reclaimed materials. All the power on the boat comes from the Sun and from human strength. The Plastiki website is a wealth of knowledge, photos, and videos from the boat's concept to it's maiden voyage. The Plastiki sailed from San Francisco, California to Sydney Australia straight through the North Pacific Garbage Patch. An amazing journey with a great purpose. Reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink! If you got some time spend some time on this site. Explore the boat, meet the crew, track their journey, read their blog, understand their mission, learn something new. PLASTIKI!!


This video is something to ponder... how life began, how life could end. The amount of time invested in this project must be monumental. Watch it, enjoy it, think about it...

Local DIY park in wormtown, my hometown. All you need is a little crete and some friends.
