Absolutely nothing.

Remember the 1980’s?
I do.
This was the scene last night at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park during another busy NightLife program. It’s David Mayer de Rothschild, “British adventurer, environmentalist and head of Adventure Ecology,” giving a talk about ecology and his Plastiki boat as a part of the United Nation’s World Oceans Day.

Can this giant plastic catamaran, can this Andersonian venture make it all the way from Pier 31 to Cindy, Australia?
Only Time Will Tell.
NightLife Welcomes Plastiki, Thursday, June 4

NightLife, featuring Plastiki and David de Rothschild »
This week, environmentalist David de Rothschild gives two lectures (at 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm) about his upcoming voyage across the Pacific. What makes it unique? He’s crossing the ocean in a 60-foot vessel constructed entirely of recycled materials, mostly plastic water bottles!
De Rothschild will share details of his itinerary, including his plan to navigate the Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch, a floating landfill and man-made disaster that’s twice the size of Texas.
This hungry gull on San Francisco Bay made quite an effort to take a chunk out of an empty floating Snapple bottle. (Birds get confused when things show up in their environment that their ancestors didn’t evolve with, of course)
The problem with recapping your empty glass bottle and tossing it into the Pacific is that the thing is going to float forever and end up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch or someplace like that.
