Here is an Update on our Trashy Habits posting: since have discovered the JUNK Ship project by the Algalita Marine Research Foundation - this project was among the HERO Award winners.
The Junk Ship Sails The Ocean O Plastic
Departing from Los Angeles on June 2nd for Hawaii, Algalita staff set sail on "Junk," a raft built on 15,000 plastic bottles. Their 2,100 mile journey will take them through the plastic-plagued Northern Pacific Gyre. Designed by Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Joel Paschal, the raft boasts an airplane fuselage, discarded fishing nets, a solar generator, and a wind turbine. This ambitious journey will bring further public attention to the plastic marine debris issue.
You can be a part of the journey and project via the Message in the Bottle Campaign
