On 5 December the National Geographic Store on London’s Regent’s Street hosted a plastic arts workshop to support the innovative Plastiki project.  Arts educators Edna and Kit spent the morning with children and adults making plastic marine life to give as gifts to friends and family or to use as Christmas decorations.  The Plastiki project is very visionary and steps in to a world of invention and imagination, creating a boat out of a new material called thermal plastic and developing ideas around green energy.  It is taking an adventurous step into the new clean green world that we all want to see and soon the boat will set sail into the man-made plastic ocean between San Francisco and Hawaii to highlight the devastating impact of plastic on marine life.
