Why's There a Tin Can at the End of My Line?

My God:
Light bulbs, bottle caps, toothbrushes, Popsicle sticks and tiny pieces of plastic, each the size of a grain of rice, inhabit the Pacific garbage patch, an area of widely dispersed trash that doubles in size every decade and is now believed to be roughly twice the size of Texas.

Twice the size of Texas! It's almost too disturbing to contemplate.
