A new arrival on the Plastiki
The Plastiki is a boat like no other – made almost entirely out of plastic bottles, it’s plying its way across the Pacific, inspired by the famous Kon-Tiki voyage, and aiming to raise awareness of sustainability issues.
We’ve been following the Plastiki team as they go, and talking to them over Skype. Last week, Vern Moen, one of the crew, was able to see his baby son born on a Skype video call, despite being in the middle of the ocean. Thankfully, one of the other crewmembers just happened to have a camera ready, and you can watch the results above ![]()
