call on people pay attention to the marine

“Plastiki” was made of more than 10,000 recycled plastic bottles. But this is not the only environmental protection declaration of this “junk ship”. “Plastiki” also had many other environmental features, such as using wind as energy resource, trailing-type propeller turbine, bicycle generator, urine recycling system, rainwater collection system and even hydroponics garden. The success was not only across the Pacific, but also stimulated a more rational use of plastic to reduce the wastes.

We all can make changes. In July the 26th, the “Plastiki” was towed to Sydney Harbor. After sailing 8,000 sea miles it successfully arrived in the port city of Sydney, Australia last month. The female captain Royle looked ecstatic.According to the reports from National Geographic Web, “Plastiki” set sail in March this year, starting from San Francisco across the Pacific. Royle said: “Human are almighty, creative and able to make breakthroughs.

Plastiki” was a catamaran with the length of 60 feet (approximately 18 meter), mainly made of about 12 500 recycled plastic bottles.” It was reported that this marine adventure was intended to provoke the consciousness of recycling the wastes and to call on people pay attention to the marine ecosystem, particularly the growing of plastic debris pollution of the marine environment. The crews steadily drove “Plastiki” in San Francisco Bay trial voyage.

The solar panels installed at the stern supplied power for the crews’ sustainable, “away-from-the-grid” lifestyle.”. “Plastiki” was setting from San Francisco, sailing across pouched suction nozzle and caps the Pacific directly to Sydney in Australia. In the large not validated catamaran, the crews suffered from different tests of waves, winds and serious weather. Before the “Plastiki” set sail, the Pacific Adventure Tour’s leader, David de Rothschild received the interview with the National Geographic Web and said: “‘Plastiki’ Tour is bound to be a great adventure, but what makes me more excited is that it can arouse the public hot discussion on how to make rational use of plastic goods
