There’s a great article in a recent New Yorker about David de Rothschild’s quest to sail across the Pacific to the East Garbage Patch — an oceanic gyre of floating plastic that’s bigger than Texas — in a sailing boat made from plastic water bottles.

Unfortunately, the article isn’t available online, but this video, in which he and some of his lead designers talk about the challenges of making the “Plastiki,” is interesting.

Also you get to ogle Mr. de Rothschild.

Just sayin’.
