A boat constructed from thousands of plastic bottles sailed into Sydney Harbor Monday,completing a 4-month trans-Pacific voyage to show the benefits of recycling.
The 60-foot “Plastiki” ,made from 12500bottles,was greeted by hundreds of supporters as it ended its 15000-kilometer journey.
“It has been a great adventure”,said the leader of the journey David de Rothschild,who comes from a well-known British banking family.“we are so excited to be here.”
The “Plastiki”-named after the 1947 Kon-Tiki raft sailed across the Pacific by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl-set off from San Francisco in March.
The boat,carrying six crew members,travelled through the north Pacific and made stops in the Line Islands,Western Samoa and New Caledonia before leaving for Australia.
The “Plastiki” relied on renewable energy and got its power from sunlight and wind.They were able to keep in touch with supporters via satellite through a website,blogs,and use of social-networking sites such as Twitter.
Captain Jo Royle said sailing the “Plastiki” was “completely different” to any other boat they had ever sailed,but “she is got here without ever a doubt in any of our minds”.
De Rothschild said the idea for the journey came to him after he read a United Nations report in 2006 that said pollution – and particularly plastic waste – was seriously threatening the world is oceans.
And while he said the influence of the voyage had gone beyond his expectations,they also faced serious problems during the voyage.
“Here you are in the middle of nowhere seeing these plastic items.They photo-degrade,get smaller and smaller,until they end up getting swallowed by fish which are then eaten by people,” he said .The Untied Nations Environment Program says there is a large amount of trash in every square kilometer of the world is oceans,and another 6.4million tons of plastic is thrown into seas each year.
The “Plastiki” will be on display at Sydney is Maritime Museum for the next month.

一艘由成千上万的塑料瓶建造的小船在星期一驶进悉尼港,完成了4个月跨太平洋航行,来显示回收的好处.
这艘船长60英尺的,由12500个塑料瓶制成的,名为“普拉斯提基”小船,被数百名支持者所欢迎归来,因为它刚刚结束了15000公里的旅程.
“这是一个伟大的冒险.”旅程的领导者,来自英国著名银行家庭的大卫罗斯柴尔德说道,“我们很高兴到这里来.”
“普拉斯提基”,在1947年3月由挪威探险家托尔海尔达尔集驾驶Kon-Tiki木筏从旧金山横跨太平洋的航行,之后得名.
那艘小船,载着6名机组人员,穿过北太平洋,先后在莱恩群岛,西萨摩亚和新喀里多尼亚停止,然后离开澳大利亚.
“普拉斯提基”依赖可再生能源,并且从阳光和风力那里获取动力.他们可以通过网站和博客,或者使用像Twitter类的社交网站,来和支持者们保持联系.
队长乔罗伊尔曾说,帆船“普拉斯提基”与他们曾经驾驶的帆船是“完全不同”的,但“在我们的心中,她是毫无疑问的来到这里的.”
罗斯柴尔德说,他在阅读了联合国2006年的报告,即关于污染 - 特别是塑料垃圾 - 是严重威胁世界的海洋的污染这些内容后,产生了这次旅行的想法.
同时,他表示,当该航程的影响已超出他的预期时,他们在航行中也面临着严重的问题.
