Boat made from platic bottles completes Pacific voyage
1A boat made from thousands of plastic bottles has sailed into Sydney Harbour, com-
pleting a four-months voyage that began in San Francisco. The boat, called "Plastiki",
was built from 12,500 plastic bottles.

Hundreds of people turned out in sydney to welcome the "Plastiki" and its crew of six.
"It has been an extraordinary adventure," said expedition leader and environmentalist
David de Rothschild. "We have this addiction to single-use, throwaway plastic, which
is chocking up the ecosystem". He said that a UN report warning of the dangers posed
by plastic waste to the world´s oceans was the inspiration for this trip. He and his crew
had wanted to make people think of the damage caused to the ocean by the disposal
of plastic waste.
The "Plastiki" left the US city of San Francisco in March 2010, crossing the Pacific
and then travelling via Western Samoa to Australia.

The vessel is a catamaran, with thousands of plastic bottles attached with organic glue to
two pontoons. Other parts of the boat such as sails and the mast are made from recy-
cled materials. The "Plastiki" can now be seen in Sydney´s Maritime Museum.
It was named after the "Kon Tiki", the raft sailed across the Pacific by Norwegian anthro-
pologist Thor Heyerdahl in 1947.
