The JUNK raft

I’ve made a fair amount of noise about the floating plastic in the North Pacific Gyre (aka the Great Garbage Patch).  I do wish I could come up with a two sentence synopsis that I could reel off when I’m in a store and they’re giving me a plastic bag to hold one item.

The guys who sailed a raft made of plastic bottles to Hawaii so that they could draw attention to the plastic soup REALLY did something.  It’s called the JUNK raft.  They just completed their journey a couple of days ago.  I think they are awesome.  Go read the account of the trip.
