maiden voyage

To raise awareness of plastic pollution in the oceans, Daryl Haines made a boat out of plastics found on the beach. He says: ‘I wanted people to see the video and be shocked at the realisation that there’s enough plastic on one beach for a guy to make an actual boat. I thought it might encourage people to think about the disposable plastic bottles they drink from, or the plastic cutlery they use and the plastic bags they carry shopping in, and consider the impact that these things have on the environment.’ See his video, Drastic Plastic
