1)
The distance from the Earth to the moon is 238,857 miles.
The Earth is 7,927 miles in diameter.
The circumference of the earth is then:
7,927 x 3.14 = 24,890.78
So, to find out how many times around the Earth the distance to the moon makes, we have to divide one
distance by the other.
238,857
24,890.78 = about 9 times and a half
So, we waste per year enough for a series of trucks to turn 19 times around the Earth!
2)

3)
An average American trashes 30 to 40 pieces of paper a day.
