I don't begrudge Olev and his friends their toys, interests or lifestyle. Just call it what it is and don't try and attach some higher intent or purpose to it.
We don't need to be more "aware" or "informed", we are in excess of both. I'd be much more impressed if they were cleaning up some of the plastic along the way.
A great deal of our "awareness", including the Pacific trash, is not brought to our attention by grand gestures, campaigning or the like. It's typically your "average" person just doing their job or actively working to create change that starts the chain of awareness.
From my perspective, giving credit to those who spend a lot of time and money to build a boat under the guise of "bringing awareness" is getting caught up in the "thick of thin things".
