According to the American Forest and Paper Association, the US uses approximately 10,000,000,000 paper bags a year.
Now, how many trees does that equal?
Answer: Well, the California Energy Commission estimates that one 15 year old tree produces 700 paper bags. Therefore, approximately 14,285,715 trees are cut down each year to fufill the demand for paper bags in the US.
