Plastiki is a given name for a catamaran made-up of 12,000 consumer-used plastic bottles. It has
undertaken a 8,000 nautical mile journey from San Francisco to Sydney to draw public attention to the
problem of eco-contamination. It is the innovation of British adventurer David de Rothschild, who along
with two skippers Jo Royle and Olav Heyerdahl led the 100-days expedition to explore the pollution of the
oceans due to plastic littering. David came up with the idea of using plastic bottles to build the Plastiki to
show how we can beat waste by reusing it. The route taken by Plastiki includes travelling through the Pacific
Ocean Garbage Patch, a highly concentrated area of plastic in the deep North Pacific Ocean. Plastiki not only
managed to display the ill-effects of plastic non-decomposition but also conveyed its intents to the public to
actively stop using plastic and switch over to other bio-degradable items.
When we throw things away, there is no “away.”All the waste goes somewhere and in the not too
distant future “away” will be full. Then what? Plastiki’s mission is to educate as many people as possible on
how to beat waste and re-think waste as a resource. It was made from reclaimed plastic bottles and recycled
waste products. This is the main reason why the catamaran and its journey are getting accolades. 【題組】18 The word “littering” denotes:
(A) troupes (B) junks (C) residues (D) ensembles
