It's funny that she should say such a thing, her tour buses emit more pollution than is necessary right??? -- come to think of it when she travels on her personal air plane to her air condition vacation home, she can use 1 square of TP per sitting, thanks a lot-- too funny!!!.
Men have been conserving toilet paper for years.
Only once a day do we use more than one square.
The rest of the visits, we don't use any.
How does using too much toilet paper cause global warming? If someone could come up with a logical explination for this one I would be surprised. Especially since toilet paper is fully biodegradable. I think she should carry around a rag, and clean it out in the sink every time she is done if she is that worried about it.
It was a JOKE, people. Lighten up!
How interesting that some are trying to do damage control by claiming this is 'taken out of context' or 'just a joke.' (Nice try.) I figure anyone who has a home larger than 2000 square feet, has more than one home to heat/cool, flies in a private jet, rides in limo, has a gas-guzzling vehicle, etc., has no right to pompously suggest that I conserve more than I already do. That means you, Sheryl Crow, Laurie David, Al Gore, John Travolta, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah, everyone in the Hollyweird crowd. Ed Begley, Jr., and Darryl Hannah are the only celebrities that have credibility with me regarding conservation. They walk the walk, as opposed to the other egotistical, self-serving celebrities who are trying to justify their existence.
We are headed towards a Ice age, We need all the greenhouse gases we can get. Ice ages come on suddenly and last 1000's of years. Warming is generally a positive for mankind. Why dont these wackos embrace the ice age anymore?
Sooo, because guys don't need, 'one square' of TP when they go number 1, does that allow them to accumulate TP credits like a carbon credits to be splurged when going number 2?
Maybe I should wear diapers and SHE can just change me when I get poopy??? Let's see how she would like wiping my butt?
Poor Sheryl; this is an obvious 'smear' campaign.
I wrote to Universal Music Group, because one can't post at her blog, unless you agree to be spammed by her every move, for life...'Today, I slayed (slew?) 3 of my free range pet chickens. Here's a recipe for 'Green Fried Chicken'...First, put on my first album...pre-heat recycled grease to 350...
The smoking gun (dotcom) posted her 'needs list' when she plays your arena. Reads like a request from a pre-headless Marie Antoinette, for Pete's sake.
And I gotta tell ya...all these guys who say they don't wipe the tip off with at least one square when they are done wee-weeing should take a lesson; Wives hate those little stains. If you had to wash your wives's undies, and she had the parts which would cause small yellow dots, you wouldn't be so quick on the draw, if ya know what I mean. (no, I don't know really what that means either. Just came out. I'm wiping as we speak.)
And also, it was NOT a joke, her suggestion, as she suggests now. And it's offensive coming from a wasteful 'I know 3 chords/ made me rich' semi-talented guitar too big for her skinny Hollywood lost culture friend of the earth cause I own it person like her. I mean can't us commoners count on a little TP to make up for all the Red Carpet shows we haven't been invited too? Will she agree to a symbolic wipe from the carpet itself, 20 actors picking up the red carpet and 'going green' on it? That would almost make up for the 'let them conserve toilet paper while I eat my cake' fiasco.
I realize she was most likely just joking, but who's going to police the usage of one square, LMAO. I bet Lance couldn't get out of that relationship soon enough. But hey, all she want's to do is have some fun. I use to like Sheryl until she got wierd; or has she always been wierd.
Who do they propose will be the enforcer of this edict? Who is going to allow another person during one of the most private of acts to view how much toilet paper is being used? I foresee a gadget that releases one and only one square per ‘sit’ (no pun intended, sarcasm intended).
And Sally, no it’s not all men commenting. As a woman I have had to use more than one square, especially when faced with nearly see-through quality in public places. I don’t think that policing toilet paper usage the place to start – the place to start is for people to stop waste in other ways. You’ll notice that Ms. Crow’s hair is always coiffed, her make-up is ‘perfect’, have any idea what those manufacturers emit into our atmosphere? And I’m sure her clothing, particularly the leather outfits, isn’t all ‘green’.
I work for an environmental engineering company that designs, over sees construction and startup of air scrubbers, ammonia removal systems, and limestone slurry plants for power plants (nuclear and coal burning) to name a few. WE are doing more to make a difference for our planet than all the so-called eco-minded Hollywood grandstanders put together.
Only 'one sheet per restroom visit??' *LOL* Then you'd better make sure it's either a Brawny or the Blue Shop Towels, especially if you don't want your fingers poking through it, cuz I don't think even Charmin'll help. Yuk-yuk.
And who the heck's gonna monitor such a whack task, anyway? Gonna stick a camera in the ol' latrine? XD But forget about toilet paper, let's worry about non-recycled paper in general... or dead batteries.
All I wanna do
Is wipe my buns
I gotta feelin’ I’m not the only one.

Sheryl Crow and the Unwiped Masses: Michele Malkin Swipes While Crow Wipes
Sheryl Crow’s least favorite mistake? The ‘tear only one square’ joke Sheryl Crow made this week has backed up from here to Burma as the press appears to be hell-bent on forgetting to flush over the singer’s remark she made while cruising the East Coast on her Climate Change Tour with Laurie David.
Malkin is talking about the elitist divide between rich and poor, and who can blame her for asking why the ‘unwiped asses’ of the unwashed masses should give up that extra roll of toilet paper when before long they won’t be able to afford one at all DESPITE the fact that Sheryl can afford to TP the whole country for the next five thousand years?
While Sheryl Crow is hauling in truckloads of $$$$ while the middle class gets their asses handed to them courtesy corrupt politicians and greedy corporate executives, Sheryl seems to be rubbing elbows and asses with the best of them. That is the gist of Malkin’s article.
Just another case of a celebrity speaking before they think. She probably has a lot of good ideas on conservation, but this stupid statement has ruined her credibility!!!!
Oh my, those cells in her brain must have died.
I tried that 'bidet thingy'.....I tried it for a LONG....LONG.....Time.
A Fantastic Invention~
Here's my solution to global warming:
1. Quit pretending it exists. It doesn't.
2. If it did exist, celebs like these should shut their mouths, because the hot air coming from them is more harmful than all the toilet paper in the world.
I'm sure some one has already said this, but...
Does she even realize how much fresh water will be wasted with her proposal, because how else are we going to wash all the $#!+ off our hands?
Not to mention the dramatic increase in diseases caused by viruses and bacteria found in human waste (Hep, E. Coli and other fecal coliforms, etc). Few enough people wash their hands anyway (take a few minutes to listen and observe for yourself next time you are sitting in a stall).
Besides, how does she propose to police this? Putting mechanical devices in stalls to eschew TP would cost an absurd amount of money.
You US Americans could learn something from across the pond...
USABidet. I just got one and you know what...all you need is
one square to finish a pat dry. It really does a body good to be clean, really clean downstairs not some half ass smear job and leave it to up to your cotton briefs to finish the job. You can now go 'comando' and save on laundry too!! This is something to 'Crow about'!!
