According to the dictionary, a trillion is: "a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 12 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 18 zeros."

If we can have manufacturers that keep up with 1,000,000 bags per minute usage, then how big are those plants anyway? And why aren't we running out of resources more quickly? And these are estimates. Most of you people here are probably too young (or too forgetful) to remember a time when the people shoving green down your throats were the same people that said we needed to begin using plastic bags nearly 30 years ago, because it would save the trees and would be "green." Effing bunch of hypocrites. Trillion is 1,000,000,000,000
