Plastiki, the Pop Bottle Ship, Completes Its 8,000 Mile Voyage

Plastiki, a 60 foot vessel buoyed by over 12,000 2-liter plastic bottles, sailed into the Sydney Harbor today, completing a 130 day, 8000 mile journey from San Francisco. A long way to travel for the coveted 10 cent deposit!

The boat, which actually set sail to raise awareness about the amount of plastic debris floating around in the world's oceans, was helmed by the British adventurer and environmentalist David de Rothschild.
