This type of statement makes legitimate environmental concerns look stupid. Thanks Sheryl.

Have her go live in the Middle East if this a practice she prefers. Have not any of these environmentalists that want to control our lives ever realized that trees do grow back, or in-other-words trees are a renewable resouce?

She wasn't thinking green when she had that gas guzzler, muscle car GTO overhauled on TV for Lance.

Why not use your hands (with water) to clean your body then wash your hands with soap?

Why not substitute cut up Cheryl Crow concert t-shirts for toilet paper?

That proposition is clearly absurd.

oh gawd.... people are SO stOOpid (yes with 2 O's). She was KIDDING - althought it wasn't the height of wit, I have to say. As far as Lance 'dumping her' .. come on, now... HE'S nigh unto fugly.... at the least, a sad sort of chud. Hey, anyone who's drawing attention to the environmental issues we all face is doing something good, so rather than criticize Ms. Crow, how about you think of how YOU are destroying the earth your children and their children will inherit - and of what YOU could change for the better. Peace.

OK, I admit I'm only causing trouble. Apologies to all Sallys and Crows that might be reading. And any Indians, wild or otherwise.

However, I must say I like the idea of using both sides of the square. Very innovative and worthy of a middle way. Reminds me of Sheryl's original blogpoint. I bet Noam Chomsky would love it. What is the deep structure content of bum wiping? It doesn't matter. All American bums are cracked by design. After all, they all come cracked. In a decent socialist country, they could put all the unemployed to work supervising the 'one square rule'. Oh wait, we already have Alberto Gonzales to do that. It's no wonder he couldn't remember...it must be very traumatic working for Carl (Goebbels) Rove. Did you read that at the center of every galaxy (or administration), scientists postulate the presence of a supermassive black hole that puts the big spin on nearby space? Clearly, the high pitched background noise emitted from C-Span is our Attorney General getting torn apart as he is sucked into the administrative black hole caused by the collapse of the neo-con brain. You wouldn't think it would be heavy enough to make a difference but many stars have been sucked into that void. This has everything to do with the topic at hand.

Wildly,
Indian

But, using paper products that are not immediatley combusted sequester carbon. So, using a lot of toilet paper reduces CO2 as long as the trees are replanted... There seem to be other plights that are more urgent IMO. Like the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

this article is slanted to make her views seem ridiculous. look at that photograph used. it's sad that entertainment is more important than the issue at hand. every small thing you can do helps in the fight against the destruction of our environment. what she's talking about is changing our behavioural habits, which are WASTEFUL. it's a great suggestion and a great point that needs to be made. the way it is presented is shameful. our media is corrupt and those of you affected are as well for buying into such an easy thing as being entertained. we're in a state of denial. most people don't want to ruin the party but unless you stop acting like children we're in big trouble. shame on you.

Re Sherryl Crowe: since when did she become an 'environmentalist'? Methinks her career is not so hot, and she's trying to re-invent herself. (And failing miserably...in that regard she has NO 'street cred', unlike--say, Robert Redford--who's beeen that way for 40 or so years.)

Re her idea: just plain stupid! She has no idea of difficulties some folks may have w/'no. 2', and her blanket fiat makes about as much sense as saying everybody should try to use 1 kleenex when they sneeze, 1/2 cap-ful of shampoo every other day, etc. Different people w/diff bodies and diff conditions have different needs.

Re Sally's reply: Pls see 're her idea' above.

Re Keef's reply: Outgrow your misogyny! Being female doesn't mean you have a lock on stupid comments. Read TMZ or any place re Mel Gibson, the comedian who was on 'Seinfeld', etc.

I love Cheryl Crow. Cheryl Crow is my hero. Someday I hope to grow up just like her and solve the world's problems. Ok, like Iraq for example. Sending just one soldier instead of thousands would ensure that casualties aren't high. Oooh! Or, if we all just turn up our A/Cs and open all of our windows we could cool the world. Let's see, what else could I solve today... Oh crap! I just sneezed and used two kleenex, I've ruined the world for my grandchildren!

This once again proves what I have always said...she is just another dirty hippy.
Maybe her new song can go something like this...

'All I want to do is wipe some poo, I got a feeling I'm not the only one'

If you need more than 1 square of toilet paper, your digesting tracts are in trouble.
Think hard. When was the last time you saw an animal using toilet paper?
Crow's message should be taken seriously. I believe if you eat right, S I-I i T will just come out cleanly without 1 square of toilet paper wasted.

This is why Artists shouldn't get involved in politics. I like her music, but stfu about telling me how much toilet paper I should use. Visit me after taco night at my house, and you will see how much of a bad idea that is!

MimApr 23rd, 2007 - 18:44:48

Sorry, but I don't know any women who need only 1 square even for a number 1. That's absurd. And her suggestions are beyond rediculous. We have MUCH bigger environmental problems that need to be addressed than our toilet paper usage.
