MONTEVIDEO, Aug 17, 2010 (Tierramérica) - "A Uruguayan consumes 40 kilos of paper per year, compared to 400 kilos consumed by someone in Finland. We produce wood pulp to feed foreign consumption," says sociologist María Selva Ortiz, representative of the environmental group Redes-Friends of the Earth Uruguay.
"But the ecological baggage of that consumption is the damage to our water, our soil, our farmers," she told Tierramérica.
