David de Rothschild interview

On the 26th July after 130 days (8000 nautical miles) at sea the Plastiki – a boat created with 12,000 plastic water bottles – sailed triumphant into Sydney harbour. The expedition mission; to bring the horrific state of plastic waste in our oceans to the attention of the world. Through out the voyage David De Rothschild, the founder of the expedition has been reporting his experience through multi media platforms and last September Greengaged was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to wake him up in San Francisco at 4am and chat to him via Skype about the design of his revolutionary boat and his aims and ambitions.
