Sheryl Crow: Limit Number of T-P Squares per Bathroom Sitting

She also has an idea for creating an incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints.

(NEW YORK) - Singer, song writer and breast cancer survivor Sheryl Crow is calling for a limit on toilet paper usage to help the environment.

Crow has also designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve".

The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage.

She also has an idea for creating an incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints.

I have spent the better part of this tour (Stop Global Warming College Tour) trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming.

Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.

One of my favorites is in the area of conserving trees which we heavily rely on for oxygen.

I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.

Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.

When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who's judgment I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further.

I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve".

The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product.

I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold.

This next idea I have been saving but I will share it with you if you promise not to steal it.

It is my latest, very exciting idea for creating incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints.

It's a reality show. (I feel pretty certain NO ONE has thought of this yet!). Here is the premise: the contest consists of 10 people who are competing for the top spot as the person who lives the "greenest" life.

This will be reflected in the contestant's home, his business, and his own personal living style. The winner of this challenging, prestigious, contest would receive what?? -- A recording contract.

She could charter a cessna to fly to her next concert instead of a 707 customized just for her and her band....How much would cost difference in savings add up to in Toilet Paper squares??

Bubba April 25, 2007 11:04 pm (Pacific time)

Next time we go to her concert please throw rolls of toilet paper on the stage. Pass it on.

4-sheet Beshaw, 4 sheets is all YOU really need. Are we now going to have the bumhole police? This whole topic is so absurd and more disgusting than feces and E-Coli dancing together. I do not want Crow to mix my potato salad. The ashes from her opium pipe probably fall in for extra flavor. That is why she is impacted.

to clarify, I wasn't disrespecting Mr. McCain,who I have high regard for as a human, it was meant as a question of his integrity, and it is Cheryl and I that may not have much in common, is supposed to be how it came out.I forgot the content of article on previous comment. over.

Rosenberg, what about McCain?

alright then, how about Kim Jung Ill's stoic face? and no, I don't think she should dictate policy. We may actually not like each other if we met, but anyone who pisses Cheney off is o.k. with me. What about Abinijab's face, two squares maximum?

One of the easiest ways to save on paper products is to do what your grandmother did and use dish and hand towels in the kitchen. Also a sponge or wash cloth for the counter tops. Most sponges can be washed in your diswasher or just hand wash them. I wonder if Crow lives in a one bedroom, studio or a MacMansion.

After the war in Europe many people used newspaper. For someone who jet sets to tell others to conserve is beyond hypocritical. Maybe she does not eat and is constantly constipated. I suggest that she shove a full roll (Jumbo Size) up her kazoo. She can also shove one down her throat to shut her up. Her suggestion is a health hazard, disgusting, and one of the most stupid things I have ever heard!

LaMarche I assume you'd have no problem keeping in lock-step with Ms. Crow's wishes.

JAFO; April 24, 2007 7:23 am (Pacific time)

she' too late. you put a water nozzle next to the toilet, teeing it from the incoming water line, and wash your bum then your hands,not as gross as it sounds, it's cleaner outright and no paper at all. They do it this way in many Asian countries where paper is unavailable and blocks the plumbing. But.., do you know where I can find some with bush's image?

If'n I have my favorite Joh Wayne TP, then I would agree to no less than five single-ply sheets. That is my best offer. I think we need a bathroom cam to implement this novel idea. The program should be overseen by the House of Representatives, since they like to routinely print out their "bills" and tend to create more excrement than many other factions of society. Just my $.02 worth. Now leave me alone for awhile. Please!

What the heck April 23, 2007 2:20 pm (Pacific time)

what about that time of the month??

4 sheets is all you really need.
