One billion plastic bags used annually in NYC alone! Wow!!
One billion is hard to conceptualize. Let me try to help put it in perspective. One million seconds is equivalent to about 11 days. One billion seconds is equivalent to 31.7 years!!
Not to get too far off the subject, but think about this:
A billion seconds ago it was 1975. War in Vietnam, Watergate scandal, VHS and Betamax video, Margaret Thatcher becomes the British Prime Minister, Queen releases 'Bohemian Rhapsody', and the world's population breaks the four billion mark
A billion minutes ago was not long after Jesus was crucified
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age
A billion dollars ago was 17 hours, at the rate Washington spends taxpayers' money
