Just days after finding out about this garbage patch, while sitting in a Chinese restaurant waiting for my take-out and flipping through a magazine, I ran across an article about David de Rothschild and the plastic bottle sailboat he was building and planning to sail across the Pacific ocean from San Francisco to Sydney Austrailia and along the way passing the garbage patch.
Check out the Plastiki's journey here.

This is truly facinating. He's doing a remarkable thing.
I think so too. You should check out the videos on David's website. He's developing all sorts of recycled plastic building materials and natural glues that work as good or better than the traditional toxic ones... And plus he's pretty easy on the eyes ;)
Dawn,
We need one more blog entry update for the coffee shop you've been working on! Can't wait to see more "finished product" pictures.
I hope they know how lucky they are to have had your help!
Loveya!
