Plastiki


The Plastiki is a wonderful and amazing ship. It contain 12,500 plastic bottles witch is filled with hot air. You would expect a small low tech ship made of lots a bottles that flouts, with a add on engine. Your wrong. Not just that its made of bottles it is said that it can stand pretty much any weather it also has a sort of built in garden so that the sailor can have fresh vegetables to eat in his journey. The plastiki is also equipped with solar panels and a wind turbines well with the basics. It is truly the ship of the future. I think the people who made Plastiki are trying to say that you need to recycle more because if they can make a ship with lots of bottles they are trying to say some thing.

Nice description of many of Plastiki's features. The main point of this project, though, is to draw attention to how much plastic has been, and continues to be, thrown into our oceans. Not good.

Don't forget that can be powered by the human legs btw the Plastiki only has 12,000 bottles filled with gas. Is hot air I gas? I honestly don't know.

Nice post, lots of info on the materials on the ship, but less info about the reason they made it, but good job though.

You had excellent vocab (although it has some spelling errors) but you didn't add the reason why they made the ship. Anyways, good job!
