David de Rothschild is an environmentalist who has crossed Antarctica and explored the
Ecuadorian Amazon. One day he was reading some information about all Lire plastic in the seas and
oceans. lie couldn't believe what he was reading. For example, humans throw away four out of every five
plastic bottles ifrey use, and plastic rubbish causes about eighty per ceni of the pollution in the sea. In
addition , scientists think that around one million seabirds die every year from plastic pollution. De
Rothschild decided lie wanted to help tackle pollution in the sea To help more people understand the
problem he started building a boat made of plastic bottles.

As well as building llie boat with recycled plastic, it was important for him to make the boa !

energy . The crew can make meals with vegetables from the small garden at the back of the boat . They can
take a break from work and get some exercise by using the special exercise bicycle . The energy from the
bike provides power for the boat 's computers. And if anyone needs to take a shower, the boat 's shower
uses saltwater fr om the sea.

In sonic low lying countries such as Bangladesh. The Philippines or Cambodia , it is not unusual
to have a boat school. In one area of Bangladesh , there are now over 20 such boats, which act as both a
kind of 'river bus ' and also a place to study. These schools were first set up in 2002 by a successful local
Bangladeshi architect called Mohammed Rezwan Every year, between llie monsoon season of June and
October at leas! one third of Bangladesh is flooded with water . This means that thousands of children
,

can 't attend school regularly , when they ought to. Statistics have shown that once students attendance
1

falls, then many stop completely. Rezw an understood that tins mustn't happen in the first place.
Rezwan realised that if young people can' t attend school then the school had better come to them.
In 2002 , he encouraged companies to sponsor him and saved up money to set up an organization to start
the boat schools. These are now used by thousands of school children who happily attend school every
month of the year . Each boat is powered by solar panels on the roof . There are lights and a computer on
board, which means thai teachers can access the Internet to make lessons more hi ter active . Most boats
are for 30 children and some of the larger boats even have a school playground on the top deck . The
students only have to walk a short distance from their homes to the river, where the boat picks them up
and then collects the other children before stopping at their final destination . Then lessons can stall. At
,

the end of the day, the children are returned home on the boat .
The organization which Rezwan setup also provides solar-powered lamps to local families , where
70% of families have no electricity. Now children and their parents don't have to stop studying or working
as soon as the sun goes down . For parents, this has meant they can earn more money. It also means that
m families where children have to work during the day. they can attend school in the evening.
By 2050. nearly one fifth of Bangladesh will be permanently under water because of climate
cliange . Mr Rezwan knows he should act quickly, to help families and children out of poverty and to give
them the chance of a better life.
