When I heard this word I was perplexed, and you might also feel this way, but wait till you read this. Plastiki is a catamaran made from plastic bottles. Guess how many plastic bottles they used....... (Guess before you look)
********
They used 12,000 plastic bottles!!!! It took them 3 and a half years to complete this expedition, just in time for the "World Water Day". Which was on the 22nd of March. On Saturday they set sail for a 100 day venture from San Fransisco to Sydney, while crossing the Pacific Ocean. They call this a little voyage. The reason David de Rothschild (creator of the Plastiki) why they made Plastiki is to see the problem of plastic waste and how it can be reduced in new and healthy ways. You might think this is just a boat made of bottles, and that's it. Well it's not, the Plastiki is a very high tech boat!!!

Nice work here, Nora, but make sure you realize the main point of the project is to raise our awareness and understanding of how much plastic waste is dumped into the ocean each day.
mh
Lyk wat mister hughes said that plastiki is to raise the awarness of people hu dump plastic on the ocean but good job overall
I agree with them both :) (no offense) I like that 'guess before you look' thing good job overall
Good job on this Plastiki blog post. I realized that you used PERPLEXED on your blog post!
The ship you just described sounds so cool I wish I can ride on one! :D
Good job on this Plastiki post. Some of the high-tech machines used in Plastiki are the solar-panels and this high-tech pillar thing that grows vegetables so you can have fresh salad on the boat! Cool...I would like to travel in the Plastiki.:D
