The author of two books, My River Home (2007) and Junk Raft (2017), Eriksen is most famous for constructing a boat entirely out of single-use plastic bottles and sailing it 2,600 miles across the Pacific. His adventures and activism are the subject of a feature documentary to be released in the summer of 2018.[/av_textblock] [av_promobox button=’no’ label=’Click me’ link=’manually,http://’ link_target=” color=’theme-color’ custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ size=’large’ icon_select=’no’ icon=’ue800′ font=’entypo-fontello’ box_color=” box_custom_font=’#ffffff’ box_custom_bg=’#444444′ box_custom_border=’#333333′ admin_preview_bg=”]
