It's cool from a scientific standpoint and a human standpoint as well that this stuff is headed here. However, I, too, immediately thought of what of a large tree already floating in a bay in Japan thousands of years ago and a tsunami pulling it out into the open ocean and it ending up on this side of the Pacific a year later and what effects that would have had such as they are worrying about.

Get over yourselves folks. Do you really think this is the first piece of trash to float across? (Anyone remember the glass floats from Japanese fisherman a couple generations ago?)
It would be naïve to think that it's the first that carried anything 'foreign' to the shores. Do they really think that ships don't carry more than their cargo? They would routinely (until a few years ago) vent bilge water, garbage and waste before arriving to port. Was that pristine?
Worry about something you might be able to fix, DUH.
If a tree falls into the ocean, is it sterile? ;oP
