In an effort to help save the environment, U.S. singer Sheryl Crow is calling on everyone to limit the amount of toilet paper used "in any one sitting" to one square.
Crow made the suggestion in her blog chronicling her recent tour of the United States on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change.
She and environmental activist Laurie David toured 11 university campuses to persuade students to act to help safeguard the world's environment.
"I have spent the better part of this 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," she writes.
"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.… We can make it work with only one square per restroom visit."
Crow acknowledges there could be occasions when the one-square limit might not suffice, such as "on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required."
She writes that when she presented the idea to her younger brother, he went a step further, suggesting that people could "just wash the one square out."
Crow's other green ideas include a clothing line she has designed with a detachable "dining sleeve" that can be used as a napkin, thereby saving on the use of paper napkins.
She also suggests a reality show in which participants compete to live the greenest life.
OK, here goes, first thing she needs to do is to drill a hole about three inches across in the wall of her bathroom, the wall to the right of her toilet, about 4 feet off the floor and maybe just about 1 foot infront of where she sits comfortably.
Now, the next thing she will need is a stool and one strong young illegal with two bricks, sitting on the opposite side of the wall from her.
Now, when she gets done, she simply uses her right index and right pointing finger to wipe her butt. She then puts those two fingers into the finger cleaning hole, the illegal on the other side smashes her two fingers between two bricks, her natural instincts will then cause her to clean the two fingers.
Patent pending.
Yeahhhhhh suuurrrrrrrrrreeeeeee. Is the "dining sleeve" a joke, too?
And to think Lance Armstrong wanted to marry this moonbat!.
She said she bathes once a week to save water.
Sheryl doesn’t have a square to spare.
She may only use one sheet of tissue at a time, but you should see her shower curtain.
1. Gonna need more than one. Most toilet paper is made to use in multiple ply foldings. Hence the “thicker and more absorbent” feature used in advertising.
2. Can’t rinse the stuff. Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate in water. That’s why it is toilet paper and not facial tissue. Different fiber lengths and processed differently.
3. Conserving trees is not the problem. In fact, cutting and replanting trees is the best thing you can do to sequester carbon in the form of cellulose. Cut the damn trees, make TP and replant. Repeat as often as needed until all of liberalism is wiped out.
She’s so full of crap she only needs one sheet; never having to implement her 2-3 sheets scenerio.
What have I been saying? These fruitcakes WILL try to tell us what to eat, when to eat, how many times to go to the bathroom... Every single microscopic aspect of your life. God help us if they ever get any real political power, we will have to a very un-civil war.
"If we stopped making paper from trees, there would be fewer trees. Eighty-seven percent of the trees that are used for manufacturing paper are planted for that purpose. That implies that for every 13 trees "saved" by paper recycling, there will be 87 that never get planted. This is why, contrary to popular belief, both the amount of forest land and the number of trees in this country have been increasing for the last 50 years. Increased demand for paper has led to more, not fewer, trees." -- Prof. Roy Cordato, in his article, "It's OK to Throw it Away" HERE: http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=9414
A BELATED HAPPY EARTH DAY, EVERYBODY! WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN ECOLOGICAL CHURCH OF GLOBAL WARMING, HERE.
She's a regular rocket scientist aint she?
I shall not be convinced until this Sheryl Crow puts a video on YouTube showing us how SHE toilets herself using one square of toilet paper.
These two need to read a book called “Trees”. They will find out with all the vegetation they so dearly love was the death and depression of so many people. In fact that time with so much vegetation; life was miserable and dark.
Actually it’s a very imformative book and should be read by the environwachos.
As usual their excuse is always a joke after the fact.
I guess she wants some of the sloppy seconds.
Her “joke” made the Washington Post.
The Egyptian women I worked with advised me to never shake hands with a man wearing a galabaya.
Gee, there’s lots of attention paid by the left to the global warming issue.
Katie Couric had an opinion that she was concerned that Al Gore’s movie winning the Oscar would make people think that global warming was a “liberal” issue, and she was concerned that people won’t take it seriously is it’s just another “liberal” cause.
I’m selling toilet paper offsets.
Send me cash. (See profile). I’ll send you a properly framed certificate .... maybe on the appropriate fabric that will guarantee that you are a socially responsible member of a progressive consciousness.
