Cuba must immedately implent new regulations to limit the number of sheets which are allowed to be used per wipe. Max 2 sheets (1 sheet during emergency) per wipe. Max 2 wipes (1 wipe during emergency). Toilet paper regulators must monitor home toilet paper consumption to ensure compliance. The regulators will be paid quite well so that there will be less temptation to take a bribe if asked to "look the other way".
