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.
Along with the the guy that taught her this.

They are so stupid.
I’d love to wipe myself and mail the whole bunch of it to her, asking her which piece I should have used, and ask how it should be cleaned.
oooh....so gross.
Sheryl Funky-Bottom Crow may lose some friends over this.
If miss crow can prove to us that she has used only one square for a time period of at least one month, I’ll consider doing the same. (fingers crossed)
Notice the wording here? Who's going to impose this 'limitation', who's gonna check and what's the penalty gonna be?
Joke my achin arse.
I’m sure she uses more than one square and doesn’t reuse either. After she gets off the biodiesel-powered bus she will go back to her California mansion that uses more energy per month than the rest of our homes do in a year. Perhaps she should drive by Al Gore’s house and shut off the air conditioner and see how much toilet paper he is using. Such hypocrisy!
WHAT AN IDIOT!
Breathtaking!
Sheryl Crow will be remembered for this
What a legacy!
What a legacy is right! It is just such a stupid idea that it boggles the mind.
This explains why Rove didn’t want either one of them touching him!

Hey Sheryl, don’t forget to fold the single sheet into a triangle after wiping in order to clean under the fingernails.
Here is a better solution. At birth, each baby is issued one, count them one, diaper/towel and one blow dryer. This diaper/towel is to be used for all toileting needs for the life time of that individual. One washes it and blows it dry after each soiling. Minorities, the poor and women might be given 1/4 extra diaper/towel during their lifetime as compensation for their history of repression.

I knew that crow was full of crap... but I just never knew she was covered with it too. I agree with Rove... that woman should not put her hands on ANYTHING or ANYBODY!
