Boats made of plastic bottles have been increasingly used in environmental campaigners. A few Chinese citizens have recently followed suit and traveled five months in such a boat to visit the Shanghai World Expo.
According to a report from Xinmin News Network, Mr. Xia Yu from Hunan province built a boat with a total of 2010 beverage bottles that are each 600-milimeter in volume. He and two partners sailed the raft down the Yangtze River and a canal for 1,500 kilometers and finally arrived near Shanghai early this month.Xia is thought to be China's first environmentalist to sail long distance on a boat constructed of plastic bottles.SEARCH
