    OK I will bite, let's convert the USA from plastic bags to paper bags:

    Americans use 100 billion plastic bags a year.

    To replace these 100 billion plastic bags with paper bags we would need to cut down an extra 140 million trees a year.

    To convert just Americans from plastic bags to paper bags we would save 12 million barrels of oil but sacrifice 140 million trees every year.
