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.

And does anyone have any doubt that this is another Hollywood type who wants to force such ideas on the little people?

It's a matter of perspective. The current law says that nobody may possess a gun (legally) in a school zone. He is proposing letting people choose for themselves. Nobody is forced to carry, it's a right to carry.

As I finished up my business in the bathroom, I took some time to realize just how absurd this is. Of course, what about TP that is not cut into sheets. We have a "tear here" thing on one giant roll.
Would we have to pony up the money for pre-cut TP here at work?

Nah, just trying to sound as ridiculous as Crow. I mean, if we're using her logic, she should not have concerts any more because of the amount of energy and waste that goes on. She shouldn't come out with anymore CD's because of the waste of plastic.

I f*cked up and purchased a way too expensive car...On top of the car...Saw the light at the end of the debt tunnel just a few months ago and went ahead and turned my ass around and walked back in a few miles...
Unfortunately, when I get to that level, I'll have to support my parentals, and possibly sister and her baby...So I have to be very cautious....which translates into buying myself an overly expensive car, of course...STUPID STUPID STUPID. *slaps head*
Oh well, at least I've got the house beat.

Rosie to Sheryl Crow: "Have You Seen My Ass?"
http://www.tmz.com/2007/04/23/rosie-to-sheryl-crow-have-you-seen-my-ass/
The answer, presumably, is no -- but Rosie made her point, pooh-poohing Sheryl Crow for suggesting that we all use just one square of toilet paper per trip to the loo.
Crow made her comments on her blog last week, and Rosie took a moment on this morning's "The View" to express her incredulity at the supposedly enviro-friendly suggestion. "Have you seen my ass?!" bellowed Rosie, and Barbara Walters was good enough to warn viewers not to use their sleeves, another of Crow's helpful suggestions.
That's just about enough scatology and wipe-tech for one morning on that zany kaffeeklatsch.

Barrymore, apparently enthralled by the lack of a modern sanitary facilities, gleefully bragged, "I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome."
