40. “ON A BRILLIANTLY sunny day in San Francisco this
past September, de Rothschild took me to see the in-
progress Plastiki, which was being assembled inside
Pier 31, a cavernous, warehouse-like space on the
bay. Though a lanky six foot four, de Rothschild looked
comfortable folded behind the wheel of his new Toyota
Prius. In the back were two friends, Karina Deyko
and Bruce Parry (a popular adventure-documentary
host in the UK), with whom he'd spent the previous
week at Nevada's Burning Man festival.”
“The top hat is a vintage pop-up from my girlfriend. The
dust build-up is from six years of wearing it at Burning
Man. I also wore it when I crossed the equator in 2010.”
