The plastiki is a very high tech boat that is made of 1200 gas filled recycled plastic bottles. It's a boat that is supposed to bring consciousness back to people so they can realize that they should start beating waste instead of live with it. The mission of this boat and its crew is to sail across the pacific from San Francisco until Sydney. Quoting the leader of this expedition David de Rothschild "We always wanted to create something that wasn't going to be just some sort of stunt. It wasn't just going to be a bag of bottles strapped together that we would be sitting on hoping that we would make it to the other side of the pacific." This is a boat made to show the obvious that waste is just living around us and we're not doing anything about it. The crew used solar power, fans and bicycles for an extra push on this boat and they hoped that maybe they would learn something from it after they got on shore. This boat also shows that the amount of electricity we use in our everyday lives and how much we need to reduce it. The plastiki technically shows us that we need to be me more eco-friendly because we're sending so much waste to the ocean and we're always wasting so much electricity when it's not needed. We need to reach deeper into ourselves and feel the same way the crew of the plastiki does. They're trying to make a point and the sooner we get it the better.

Elise, I like the part where you said it shows we have to reach deeper into ourselves to feel the same as the crew of Plastiki. True for sure.
