David de Rothschild and Jo Royle dropped by Current HQ's to chat about their daring plans to sail from San Francisco to Sydney in a vessel made from plastic bottles as part of their mission to educate the world of the perils of plastic. In this 3 minute excerpt of the interview, David and Jo talk about how they are going to survive their trip and by charting the stars, foraging for food, and growing vertical gardens on their boat.

You can watch more excerpts of the interview and the interview in it's entirety at current.com/plastiki.

David de Rothschild authored The Global Warming Survival Handbook, hosts the Sundance Channel's "Eco-Trip: The Real Cost of Living", where he investigates the life-cycle and ecological impact of everyday consumer products from field to shelf. He was also honored by National Geographic as an 'Emerging Explorer', The World Economic Forum named him a 'Young Global Leader', and in 2008 Clean Up The World made David an 'International Ambassador'. Jo Royle is internationally recognized as one of Europe's leading female ocean yachts skippers. Jo's passion for ocean adventure has launched her into a professional sailing career, her accolades include being one of the few sailors to have circumnavigated South Georgia in the Southern Ocean. She competed in the prestigious two‐handed trans‐ocean race, the Transat Jacques Vabre, skippering the only all female team in the 40‐foot class. She is currently completing an MSc in Environmental Science and Society at the University of Central London.
