This is ingenius! I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Limit the amount of toilet paper I use when I go to the bathroom...It will save the world!? Now, I do eat my fair share, but I don't think I consume that much toilet paper. SO, I'm a moderate offender. But I definately think Crowe is really on to something. I think that we should have a police man at every public restroom and he is in charge of handing out the one-peice of toilet paper. And if it's a 'pesky occasion' that requires 2-3 peices you have to get up, and ask him nicely. And if you don't wash your hands you go to jail aswell, because I mean c'mon, who will ask a cop for more tp, and wants dirty hands?
After this, I'm going to personally find the bounty man and kick his butt for being the cause of the 'height of waste'. Crowe if you're reading this, I'm with you, please continue your fight for a cleaner world! Brilliant!
You can even clean #2 with a single square using the following technique:
1. take one square
2. fold it twice so it's 1/4 the size
3. tear off the corner where the folds meet and SAVE IT
4. open the sheet
5. stick your middle finger in the hole and wipe
6. after its clean, take the corner that you tore off and scrape doo doo from under nail
7. discard solied sheet and corner
If I use more than one sheet, can I purchase a carbon credit to make up for it? If so, I wonder how much each sheet is worth?
She ought to be thankful she doesn't have Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis! This is outright ridiculous to impose rules and penalize those among us who have been unfortunate enough to suffer a disease that involves not only constant diarrhea but between 10 to 60 bathroom visits a day!
What does she propose we do? Carry a card around that lets us use more than one square of toilet paper? Any other smart ideas on how to single us out and make us feel embarrassed more than we already are?!
I watched an segment on The Weather Channel about global warming in which they interviewed Sheryl Crow. She's doing a good work in raising awareness of the issue among young people.
As to her comment on toilet paper, I'm quite sure this article has taken it out of context. My wife, as I'm sure most women do, uses TP after going #1. It seems much more reasonable that Sheryl was speaking of this usage, and not for #2. Don't you think?
Of course, she may have just been trying to be funny too. There are, after all, other areas of concern that contribute to global warming much more than the manufacture and use of TP.
HOW MANY SQUARES OF TOILET PAPER I CAN USE?????!!! Will this be directly proportional to the size of my behind? How much I ate yesterday???? The texture and moisture content of my waste???? WHO WILL POLICE MY TOILET??
OK. where is the reasonableness in all of this? If you use too little amount of TP, you will have to wash your hands a lot longer, therefore using too much water and soap. If you use too many cloth napkins, again, you use too much water washing them and believe me, most people will throw them in the dryer rather than let them hang to dry. There is a happy medium. I was taught by my mom MANY years ago to use 6 squares of TP. seems ample in most instances. Crow is trying to improve her environment but how much improvement is life that is 'regulated' by govt.? She's a little cracked.
Save a few sheets of paper or use extra laundry products and warmer water to deal with the results. The choice is easy for me. When's the last time Ms. C washed her own delicates, one wonders?
Restricting Toilet paper,....why? Paper is renewable, and does anyone know what freedom is anymore? Now people want to pass laws on how much TP to use?!! I wish all the idiots who want to impose all these rediculous laws and tell people how to think and live would just all move to Afghanistan or someplace with out freedom, because that's what they obviously believe in and want. Plus how much research do you think she's done on any of this? I'm guessing none.
Sheryl I will think of you and laugh everytime I have a fistful of TP and I'm taking care of business.
By the way,
'Its the sun stupid!'
Fire your PR man immediately!
It's all about Ratcheting down your standard of living. Most of these idiots in show biz are just unwitting (or half-witted) pawns of the comunist left, who want to ratchet down your income, your consumption, etc. These elite few who are trying to change America into a comuno-socialist nation are under the misconception that there is scarcity, lack, and not enough to go around. They are panicking because they see the economy decaying, so they want to envoke a communo-socialist structure. This will turn the mindless masses into drones who think they're saving the environment, while the Elite like Fat Al Gore can live in their huge mansions and have a false sense of security, while they spew this bullshit, raise energy prices and laugh all the way to Monte-Carlo for vacation. Wake up everyone! You're being duped!
Right on Cheryl
This is an example of why these dim witted celebs should stay out of anything other than attempting to entertain.
Is this woman nuts. One square per bathroom visit. Maybe we should also use half a flush
This is the craziest thing i have heard yet. One sheet will surely leave your hands wet.
I shit myself reading this article, how many squares do I get for that!?
People , dont you see all this fuss about nothing is the PR work of that Karl Rove!!..He works for the American People..yeah right!!...It seems he works for his master Mr. W.
Sheryl needs to be more specific here. Is she speeking of single ply or two ply toilet paper. Maybe we should do what the Romans used to do and just have a bucket of water with a sponge on a stick next to the toilet. Heck why not go back to the corn cobb days of wiping.
By the way Sheryl(And your friend Laurie)
'Its the sun stupid'
We should migrate to HEMP toilet paper, which is cheaper and more biodegradable. Ms. Crow should jump on THAT band wagon.
