David de Rothschild, founder of Adventure Ecology, and the Harvard Club of San Francisco invite you to spend an evening onboard the journey of Plastiki at the newly built Plastiki Mission Control Center. The evening will start with a wine reception sponsored by the Brown Estate Vineyards, a sustainable local winery that is a favorite of the HCSF Sustainability Series Chair and the Plastiki team.

David will give an overview of his Plastiki project that is challenging and inspiring people to rethink waste as a resource. Plastiki, a one-of-a-kind 60-foot catamaran created out of reclaimed plastic bottles and recycled materials, is currently under construction at Pier 31 in San Francisco. It is set to make its momentous voyage across the Pacific Ocean later this year on a mission to beat waste. Along the 10,000 nautical mile journey from San Francisco to Sydney, Plastiki and its crew will navigate through ecologically threatened regions and the Great Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch, a gyre of plastic and other marine debris twice size of the state of Texas.
