Très bien, hero!

My answer to this question is positive. Admittedly, it looks just like a show at the first look of the way the tow-man crew raising public awareness for social problem. And it is seems quite astonish to hear that there are someone would like to spend so much time and efforts merely to draw public attention to the plastic pollution problem. But after a comprehensive and deeper thinking, I believe there is a hidden rationality behind their seemingly impulsive activity.

Someone may argue that they just waste time on the meaningless things. They could use the time they spend on the journey to do much more meaningful thing. Such as hold a campaign to call the legislature attention, or to recycle the abandoned plastic bottles. That is more directly to change the environment and to improve the way we deal with trash.

But when those people judge their activity, I quite doubt weather they have ever do something good to ameliorate the fragile environment. The potential influence of their deed is maybe too profound and extensive to be ignored. The public may just curious about the extraordinary adventure at first, but after that they still may admire their brave spirit and determined attitude to change the unsatisfactory reality. The deed is sure a vivid and impressive education to everyone who hears their story. Can you think out something else that have a more far-reaching influence than a good education?

I appreciate their eye-catching way to raise public awareness of the social problem.
