The Plastiki is a boat made out of recycled materials. The bottom of the boat is made of 2litre plastic bottles. In total there are 36,000 plastic bottles on the ship. The leader of this project is a person named David de Rothschild. He wanted to create the Plastiki, because there was garbage in the ocean and if you collected all the garbage in the ocean you could create some thing spectacular! Like the Plastiki. The construction of the boat started 3 years ago in 2007. The sail is also made out of plastic bottles. The technology used to create the Plastiki was unimanginable! They used Solar Panels to power the boat and the backup power for the engine is by pedalling a bycycle to create power for the engine.
The Plastiki set sail on moday and it's route is to cross the Atlantic Ocean

Good words on the boat, Brandon, but the real focus is raising our awareness of all the plastic trash that gets thrown in the ocean. It's really bad.
I like the larger graphic you've used.

Good information Brandon!!! I was about to explain about solar panel but I was more interested in bicycle thing. Nice Job!!!
Good job here, Brandon. Cool info here, that the building of the Plastiki started in 2007. But you are missing the real reason of why David de Rothschild built Plastiki though. You are missing some facts but good job.
