Americans generate 251.3 million tons of garbage per year.
Each year, the United States used 85.5 million tons of paper
That would be 13 elephants
Not easy to answer. The Golden Gate bridge weighs under 900,000 tons, the Hoover Dam weighs 6.6 million tons. The Grand Coulee Dam weighs about one-third of 70 million tons.By my own calculations, a cube of solid concrete which is one thousand feet long, one thousand feet wide and one thousand feet high, would weigh around 70 million tons.
The total amout of potato chips Americans eat on Super Bowl Sunday each year equals 28 million tons.

There are about 3 x 1012 oranges in 600 million tons. Oranges weigh on average about 7.05 oz 1 short ton = 32,000 oz → 600 million tons in oranges = 600 x 106 x 32000 oz ÷ 7.05 oz/orange ≈ 2,723,404,255,319 1 long ton = 35,840 oz → 600 million tons in oranges = 600 x 106 x 32000 oz ÷ 7.05 oz/orange ≈ 3,050,212,765,957

There are no such animals nowdays
40 tons!!! It is estimated that 1.1 million dollars would weigh 1.1 tons. So 40 million dollars or thereabouts!

600 million metric tons of wheat is grown per year
An elephant. Which normally weighs from 1 ton to 2 tons.
The value seems to vary, depending on what source you refer to. madsci.org states a few billion tons. #1 exitmundi.nl states 400 million tons. #2 nasa.gov/qa_sun.html states 600 million tons. #3 funtrivia.com states 600 - 700 million tons. #4 wikipedia.org/ states 600 million metric tons. #5 Whereas phy6.org/stargaze/Lsun2vue.htm states a million tons. #6 mb-soft.com/public2/sunworks.html states 4 million tons. #7 There is little difference between a long, short or metric ton. So the consensus is on about 600 million tons per second!! Of the 600 million tonnes of Hydrogen used, 596 million tons of Helium is created with only 4 million tons being converted into pure energy. For comparison, the mass of the Earth is about 5.97×1021 tons. This would mean the Sun would consume the mass of the Earth in about 315,500 years.
An aircraft carrier typically weighs around 100,000 tons, so 2.5 million tons would be equivalent to about 25 aircraft carriers. This weight is also close to the combined weight of thousands of commercial airplanes or hundreds of thousands of cars.
