Always looking to highlight ingenious do-it-yourselfers and creative solutions to problems, the editors at ReadyMade magazine this month tackle the glut of plastic bottles that wind up in landfills every year.
They managed to find some people who are doing some creative, crafty and redeeming things with PET water bottles. We thought we'd highlight a few in the coming days and weeks since the ReadyMade article isn't available online.
Adventurer and environmental storyteller David de Rothschild, is using thousands of bottles to build a catamaran that he plans to sail across the Pacific. The 60-foot Plastiki is an amazing vessel, made completely from reclaimed plastic bottles. You can learn more about the Plastiki and follow de Rothschild's voyage here. (He should be setting sail later this year, following ocean tests of the vessel this month.) He'll also be tweeting the journey.
de Rothschild talks about the Plastiki and his expedition in this YouTube video.
