Three billion and two hundred espring manual million. So, according to the Ministry of Environment espring manual and Water, are plastic bags that you can buy in Bulgaria for one year. If you tie them to each other (and we assume that the bag is 30 cm long on average), it can pitch our nylon rope to the moon, then back to Earth and back halfway.
