Texas is a polluted shithole where chemicals are dumped into lakes, the water table is contaminated and the people have a general disprespect for nature.

The air quality varies from "can barely breath" to "nasty, unhealthy stench". The smell of chemicals, chickenshit and car exhuast permeates the air.
When a persons´ washing machine wears out here they don´t bring it to the landfill, they throw it out on a country road.
The roadside is littered with furniture , tv´s and trash rednecks have thrown out, and hardly a backroad exists without an "unofficial" dump.

Some of the lakes are so polluted the chemicals eat monofilimant fishing line, and slicks of chemicals can be seen on the surface.

In the oil fields the polution is worst yet, with the unwanted byproducts of the oil industry being discarded on site in pits, where it jsut soaks into the water table. Radioactive waste from the oil industry is discarded in local lakes, or buried on site. Very little of these dangerous chemicals are disposed of properly , and are absorbed into the enviroment.
As jsut a typical example, the International Paper mill in Domino Texas is allowed to release dioxin into the Sulpher river, causing massive fich die offs in times of low water flow.
The fish are absorbing these chemicals, and people are eating the fish. No warnings are given.

All East Texas lakes are polluted with mercury, and warning signs for the contaminant are posted at nearly every lake, with warnings not to consume more than a few ounces a month of fish.

East Texas is the nastiest place I´ve ever been, except Louisiana, which is just as bad. The people who live here have the Christian mindset that nature was provided by god for man to ruin.
