Crow calls for limit on loo paper

Singer Sheryl Crow has said a ban on using too much toilet paper should be introduced to help the environment.
Crow has suggested using "only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required".

The 45-year-old, who made the comments on her website, has just toured the US on a biodiesel-powered bus to raise awareness about climate change.

She teamed up with environmental activist Laurie David for the shows.

The pair targeted 11 university campuses to persuade students to help combat the world's environmental problems.

"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," Crow wrote.

"Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating.

"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

The tour ended on Sunday at the George Washington University in Washington DC, where Crow performed with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Carole King.

Laurie David's husband, Seinfeld creator Larry David, also appeared.

Crow has also commented on her website about how she thinks paper napkins "represent the height of wastefulness".

She has designed a clothing line with what she calls a "dining sleeve".

The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve" after the diner has used it to wipe his or her mouth.

The shows involved a short set by the singer, a talk by David and segments of Al Gore's environmental film An Inconvenient Truth.

Thats vile. If you use one square, it shreds and you get... crap all over your hand. I have to use at least four before I don't get anything soaking through to my fingers. Ewwww!

Although saying that, I use cotton hankies instead of tissues when I have a cold.

What an idiot. There are far more useful things that could be done to help the environment.

One of the most important things, I think, is for the governments to crack down on China's massive abuses of the environment. Watching how many squares of toilet paper you use?? Ridiculous. And ONE square is never enough.

doesnt the "every little bit helps" principle apply here?
I know she's obviously barking, but if we all make an effort to use less bog-paper, surely thats a good thing?
it doesnt mean we have to stop trying other things, like getting china to cut down, encouraging cleaner ways to generate electricity and so on.


mind you, you're right about one square not being enough. unless its the size of a bedsheet. In which case, it still might not be enough for me.

I'd like to think that people already sorta do that anway. What I mean is, how many adults really use WAY more roll than necassary? I don't think it ought to be something thats regulated by law.

 

[logansoldcigar]

I dunno. I would guess its not something we think about, but perhaps if we did, we might find we use the odd handful more than necessary.

except me. cos i have a catflap like two badly parked volkswagon beetles

Kinda like carrier bags at the supermarket. How many people use handfuls of them without even thinking about it? (I dont, I use a big blue Ikea bag)

 

[kainedamo]

If it were up to me, we'd be making laws and regulations about people not washing their hands! I hate when people don't wash their hands in public toilets!!

 

[logansoldcigar]

absolutely agree. its gross n nasty.

especially with poublic toilets low quality 'finger goes through' it loo roll.

 

[kainedamo]

What amuses me is the guys that pause for a second like they're thinking about it, and then decide against it and walk out. What is there to think about?? Wash your damn scuzzy hands, scuzzball! You can't spare 5 seconds? It's not like you're a doctor in a rush, and if you are, even more reason to wash your hands!

I really, really don't understand why anyone makes the conscious decision to not wash their hands

 

[ck51100]

There is no way that I could only use one square....

 

[Kyalesyin]

The nasty thought is, do you wanna shake hands with Sheryl Crow, knowing that she only uses one square?

Great point....

 

[logansoldcigar]

hell yeah. dirty sanchez from Ms Crow would be fine with me

 

[SuperFerret]

One square might be enough for a very light.. um.. 'session', depending on the ply, but what about Taco Bell night?

 

[SWAT]

I went to a toilet who had that square paper thingy! I had to sit for over a minute to get the right amount of paper to whipe my ass ONCE!

 

[Immortalfire]

Stupid.

Don't mess with my bathroom routine.

 

[black_dust]

One square? jesus, might as well wipe it with my bare hand and wash it in the toilet bowl for the amount of good one square will do

 

[terry78]

I hope you all go against the grain.

 

[kane9321]

hell yeah. dirty sanchez from Ms Crow would be fine with me

aww man you beat me to itt:

one smooth stroke should do it

 

[Calvin]

Even if I just take a piss, I roll up a few feet of toilet paper and drop it into toilet just for the hell of it.

 

[jaguarr]

Dear Sheryl Crow,
I consume roughly 3500-4000 calories per day, 45% of which is protein. I NEED toilet paper. Big, giant wads of it. If you come near me, I will wipe my ass with you instead.

Love,
jag

P.S. - You're an original baby...

 

[Immortalfire]

Maybe her idea is a spinoff from whomever it was on the Hype, that asked if you flushed your TP or threw it in the wastebasket.

She doesn't poop like a man nor does she deal with other man hair-related issues!!

One sqaure?

That reminds me of Seinfeld, which is odd because I've only seen maybe 4 eps ever.

Also, why can't we just adopt the 'three seashells' method that was referenced in Demolition Man? Not that they ever explained how that worked, but I'm sure I can come closer to getting the job done with three seashells than with one flippin' sqaure!

That's 4 more than I've ever seen.
