Toilet paper use flags inequities - Indians consume toilet paper
worth $7.7 million each year, according to an assessment made by
the World Watch Institute, which has concluded that toilet paper
use reveals the inequities in access to sanitation
globally. ..... [snip] .... When these figures are juxtaposed with
the numbers of people who do not have access to proper toilets, the
inequities in terms of services and basic amenities are evident,
according to World Watch. The U. S. and Canada enjoy 100 per cent
access to sanitary toilets. In India 67 per cent of the people do
not have access to them. Africa is even more pathetic.
