David De Rothschild's plan for cleaning garbage out of the ocean starts with a boat made of trash. Plastiki is an environmental sailing ship made of discarded soda bottles, it's a smart solution to waste.

As you may have heard, David de Rothschild, 31, an heir to the famous European banking fortune, is building a catamaran out of some 12,500 plastic water bottles and sailing it from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. He plans to depart by the end of the year with two full-time skippers and a cameraman. Along the way they'll pass through the Eastern Garbage Patch, a slowly twirling vortex of suspended plastic bits in the North Pacific that's been estimated at twice the size of Texas. At stopover islands on the route, he'll pick up and drop off temporary crew members—scientists, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, even Hollywood celebrities, if they have environmental credibility—who will help him market his message. Read more about David and his plastic boat over at Outside Magazine.
