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.

This can be improved upon. Let's get her talking about what she does for tampons.
And by the way guys, the toilet paper thing...it was a JOKE!!
A leftist dim lies... grass is green... and poop stinks! Some things are constant!

All men should demand “just shakin’ it” credits to save up for more intensive visits to the lav.
Hillary needs a third of a roll to clear the cob webs.
Of course toilet paper rationing is not really a concern for those with a personal ass-washing assistant, and an appearance rider that leaves the muddied turkish towels for the Arena du Jour to bleach and steam and rinse and dry. That's what I call a carbon assprint!
And we'll know you are by the smell.
Seriously, isn't she the least concerned about health concerns? Urinary tract infections and things like that?

This skank is ALWAYS b!tching about not finding a “man” and having a “baby”. Cause and effect? Ya think?!

“Gee, theres lots of attention paid by the left to the global warming issue.
Katie Couric had an opinion that she was concerned that Al Gores movie winning the Oscar would make people think that global warming was a liberal issue, and she was concerned that people wont take it seriously if its just another liberal cause.”
Wow, for once Katie is right! People won’t take it seriously, and those who watch Sheryl Crow sing will be checking out her hands, for sure!
IIRC they eat with their right hand. Be careful of the left one, though. ;)
Yeah, but what she didn’t say was how often she showered.
“These split-tail mono-sylabic ninnies need to be married, knocked-up and bare-footed.”
Dude... she only takes a bath once a week. Ain’t gonna happin’!

Her taxes are about to be reviewed and increased!
LLS
Maybe she’ll have to leave the country to evade the IRS.
One can only hope.
LLS
Roger!

Oh but she IS making a difference. I hear she will be putting a single square dispensing machine in all the bathrooms of her G-5. How can such action NOT save the plannet from Al Gore’s Global Warming?
