BIO

David de Rothschild is the author of “The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook” and founder of Adventure Ecology—an organization that uses adventure and storytelling to captivate the imagination, raise global mass media awareness and inspire individuals, communities and industry to take smart actions for our planet. In 2009, he will embark upon the Plastiki Expedition, traveling from San Francisco to Australia aboard a vessel made almost entirely of recycled plastic water bottles. In doing so, he hopes not only to draw attention to the wonders that can be created from recycled materials but also to the dangers, in the forms of garbage and waste, facing our oceans. Like “Eco-Trip: The Real Cost of Living”, The Plastiki aims to combat the environmental threats that un-recycled waste pose to our planet.
