How Far Would You Go to Prove a Point?

Would you sail the open waters in a boat made of plastic water bottles to prove a point? Well that's David De Rothschild plan. He hopes his unique boat will help people realize that recycling plastic bottles is important to cutting down our waste on this planet.

He is currently building his vessel, the Plastiki, in San Francisco not far from Fisherman's Wharf. The boat is made of all recycled material except for two metal masts. After the voyage, which will take him and his crew from California to Australia, the Plastiki will be recycled.

De Rothschild is not without some reservation at the long journey, but he is committed to shedding light on the subject of recycling plastic.
