America's Addiction to Plastic. Businessshrink.biz, April 26, 2008. "America consumes 31.2 billion water bottles a year, taking 17.6 million barrels of oil to create them. [That's] enough to fuel 1.5 million cars for a year. America consumes 100 billion plastic bags a year, [which requires] 12 million barrels of oil. World figures? 154.3 billion water bottles and 500 billion [to] 1 trillion bags = 147.4 [to] 207.4 million barrels of oil a year. With oil prices surging to almost $120 a barrel [last] Friday, the sky is certainly looking like the limit."
