Every Basque in the south consumes 131 kilos of paper per year. This data has been provided by the Spanish Consumer Association after the analysis carried out in 1995. Analyzing the data of Iparralde, in addition, we can know better the trend of Basque citizenship: On the other side of the Bidasoa it consumes 167 kilos of paper per inhabitant in a year.
