...it's a pretty big state. Wikipedia says that it's 261,797 square miles (of course, on any given Monday, Wikipedia might tell you that Chuck Norris is the King of Texas, too, so take that statistic with a grain of salt. On the third hand, I suspect that Ranger Norris may, in fact, have some sort of monarchical role in the secret government of the People's Republic of Texas, so who knows?).Anyway, I got distracted, there. Texas is big, right? Well, you may or may not know that there is a large toxic island in the Pacific that's twice as big as Texas and composed primarily of onshore plastics that have been tossed in the trash. A LARGE, TOXIC, ISLAND, visible from space, over half-a-million square miles in size.
Paper or plastic?
