Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network

David de Rothschild plans to sail 12,000 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Sydney in a boat made entirely out of plastic bottles and recycled waste products.
The Plastiki Expedition has brought together a group of intelligent guys and girls to design the boat, which will be made of 12,500 2-liter plastic bottles collected by Waste Management.
Weighing in at 9 tons, the Plastiki will have a crew of six, a composting toilet, onboard renewable energy and a garden.
And if this doesn’t sound astonishing enough, the team haven’t built a boat before either!

We wish them fair winds!
