أسترالي يبني قارباً من القمامة ويطلق رحلة تحفيزية عبر المحيط

In a stunning move that combines creativity and the environment, Australian Samuel McLennan (48 years old) has succeeded in building a fully seaworthy boat from trash he collected from the ocean, naming it "The Heart."

His journey began in Hobart in April 2024, after spending 18 months building it on land and another six months testing it on the water. The boat is 27 feet long and is made from an innovative mix of 22 floats, pipes, ropes, fish farm nets, oyster bags, fabrics, plastic sheets, and even a solar panel that was slated for disposal. The boat features a spacious interior with two beds and a small stove, combining comfort with environmental functionality.

McLennan's project, called "Project Interrupt," is part of his goal to inspire people to adopt a simple and sustainable lifestyle, focusing on the direct relationship between environmental pollution and mental health. He offers demonstrations to audiences and organizes coastal cleanup campaigns, emphasizing that every small step towards environmental preservation makes a big difference.

McLennan plans to reach Sydney in 2026, completing his long journey that carries a powerful message about protecting our planet and living a more conscious and sustainable life.
