依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題Plastiki is a given name for a catamaran made-up of 12,000 consumer-used plastic bottles. It hasundertaken a 8,000 nautical mile journey from San Francisco to Sydney to draw public attention to theproblem of eco-contamination. It is the innovation of British adventurer David de Rothschild, who alongwith two skippers Jo Royle and Olav Heyerdahl led the 100-days expedition to explore the pollution of theoceans due to plastic littering. David came up with the idea of using plastic bottles to build the Plastiki toshow how we can beat waste by reusing it. The route taken by Plastiki includes travelling through the PacificOcean Garbage Patch, a highly concentrated area of plastic in the deep North Pacific Ocean. Plastiki not onlymanaged to display the ill-effects of plastic non-decomposition but also conveyed its intents to the public toactively stop using plastic and switch over to other bio-degradable items.When we throw things away, there is no “away.”All the waste goes somewhere and in the not toodistant future “away” will be full. Then what? Plastiki’s mission is to educate as many people as possible onhow to beat waste and re-think waste as a resource. It was made from reclaimed plastic bottles and recycledwaste products. This is the main reason why the catamaran and its journey are getting accolades.
