I'm not sure if you heard this story the other week on American Public Media's show called "Marketplace." I'm a pretty devoted listener to "Marketplace" and haven't missed an episode (they come daily) in over a year. This one got me thinking, so what are we going to do with all that garbage that's floating around in a big patch as big as the State of Texas. It seems like someone is trying to make money off of it. If this sounds far fetched, it is.
