Thought this would make everyone laugh this morning. I heard this on the news this morning -- that Sheryl Crow wants everyone to start using only ONE square of toilet paper per sitting. This is to save the trees. This is totally ridiculous! I did a google search and it's all over the place, so I just picked this one. I think this is from a blog of hers or something on her tour that she's doing right now going around to college campus. So what do you think?

"Crow (4/19, Springfield, Tenn.): 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. Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."

Well, I guess if you have time to drip dry for 5 minutes,but no way for #2 !

"except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."






I don't know what the heck she's doing in the bathroom, but there is NO WAY that 2 to 3 squares is going to cover those "pesky occasions" around here

Oh h-e-e-elllllllll no!

One square?? I am never shaking anyone's hand if I ever find out they only used one square! I see people who don't wash their hands and I suppose they are going to tell me they are conserving water for the good of the world??

I see restaurant workers do this, I get pi$$ed. There are just some things in this world that are NASTY and this is one of them. And for the pesky situations use 2 or 3 squares? Obviously this woman has never had the problems some of the rest of us face from time to time because she would know it isn't possible.

Why don't we just go out in the yard and scoot across the grass? Maybe when little kids take a crap in the yard maybe they think they are fertilizing and saving on trees?

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

I do get annoyed with my husband, he uses SOOOOOO much! I grew up using 3 and still do for the most part (well, for #1... lol) but I still don't use nearly what my husband does, seems like he uses half a roll at a time

I might have to start buying the moist wipes more often, they really seem to help and you won't have to use wads of TP. Was it this board or elsewhere that I read about cultures that will use containers of water at the toilet? I've also thought about installing a bidet.

Ummmm, no thanks Ms. Crow...I will find other ways to save the trees...1 square ain't going to cut it!

You know in Europe when you go to the restroom, the bathroom attendants hand you (after you have paid them) a couple of squares of (sandpaper like) toilet paper!

OMG, no way, not even if I had a butt as small as hers. I try to be conservative, but, honestly......ONE SQUARE??? Maybe she uses paper towels to wipe, and meant one square of those???

I applaud her for trying to save the trees, tho.

I have a bottle of witch hazel that I use after #2. Dab some on a few sheets of toilet paper ,Its helps cut back on toilet paper usage,makes you nice and clean ,itchfree,and prevents hemmorhoids.Plus its cheap. only a lil over a $1.00 at Walmart and lasts a long time.

OMG! That is too funny. I think that is the first thing that has actually made me laugh out loud in days (and I need a good laugh). THANK YOU!

I think that's what's in those 'roid wipes I used while pregnant that made me realize how useful moisture is. Probably cheaper than the wipes!

ROFLMAOPMP!!!!

If I read that too many more times, I'M going to have to go scoot across the grass!

Besides, if people did that, some OTHER celebrity would be complaining and would start a "save the grass" campaign.

I about died when I saw this story this morning on the news...
No wonder Lance broke up with you darling!-- It's cause your hoo-hoo ain't clean!------
and I'd be willing to bet that on a GREEN tour bus there isn't a bidet because that would waste WATER!--
Ewwwww girlfriend! --- You want to save paper that badly, I'll gladly go with out my morning newspaper so you wipe your thang and keep it clean! Go ahead sugar, I'm calling the Newspaper office right now!

Geez,
Shaking my head {{{{NASTY}}}},

You know what, for that matter, why not just propose to the farmers that are growing Corn for the "new fuels" of the future to just save those cobs and we'll let you go back to "old school". You and your "Pioneering" ways!---

Oh my gosh! I'm laughing so hard right now my eyes are tearing up!

There's no way I could make it on one square either.

Thanks for the chuckle! If Ms. Crow REALLY wanted to save trees, she wouldn't have CD covers on her CDs. I mean, aren't those made of paper? Oh, I guess when you are making money off of something it doesn't count

LOVE the scooting on the grass comment LOL. I actually know some people who have their boys pee in the backyard to save a flush and paper. Uh, my backyard isn't a bathroom

She probably puts a hole in the center, wipes herself with her finger and uses the ONE sheet to clean her finger off!

I, myself, use more than one sheet (who doesn't?), but have found another way to save trees and take up less space in landfills. I found a place called paper retriever ( Paper Retriever - Make Every Page Count.) that has large green reclcling bins all around (churches, schools, etc) that take ALL paper, even phone books, shiny paper ads and catalogs that our borough recycler won't take and gets money for it. I was so tired of throwing away 2 or 3 phone books every time you get new ones. I can fill a bag with ads, catalogs and junk mail in just one week. Just put in your zip code and they tell you the location of bins in your area.

I feel as if I'm doing something for the environment and staying sanitary at the same time!

I couls make one square work, if it was the size of 4.

OMG, you guys are hilarious today. Scoot around the yard, LOL.

There is no way in hell 1 square would go around here. If they don't use 1/4 of roll every time they go I think there's something wrong with them. Goodness knows I'm not going to sit still long enough to drip dry.

aint no way! I can't wipe my nose wif 1 square!

I agree, she should cut out the CD Covers and since she has more money than she really needs, donate it to the cause! I mean dang!

As for the poster who said something about her small butt, well mine is that small, probably smaller and one square still aint gonna work! LMBO!!!

I agree "MILES" must be part of her cause, lol.

We have pickup recycling now which is nice. All our plain paper, catalogs, phone books, junk mail, newspapers, magazine go in the bin. They also pick up cardboard if it's cut down to a size, glass, plastic containers, tin and aluminum. Our grocery bags, plastic and paper are taken to one of the local grocery stores which have recyclying bins in the front of the store. Now if someone could take egg cartons and styrofoam plates and cups.

I think fast food places and airlines should be make to recycle. They have to be huge consumers of either cans or styrofoam that gets pitched. How hard would it be for airlines to have their crew carry two trash bags down the aisles? How hard for fast food places to offer two types of trash cans? Styrofoam or regular.

OMG.....You all are crapping me up

Now Will Smith has a machine on his toilet that washes and dries you so no paper is used.

Will Smith's New Toilet Treat.

Will Smith's New Toilet Treat.... Will Smith and his family are set to save a fortune on toilet paper after fitting their Los Angeles home with the latest Japanese restroom gadget.

The movie star reveals his new "toy" affords him a hands-free toilet experience, and cleans him up afterwards.

He says, "They've installed these toilets from Japan. They're paper free.

Wherever you sit on the toilet, somehow it hits the bull's eye perfectly.

"It cleans and then dries you. It is just water and then air."

I saw this on the tv at the gym tonight & was praying I heard it wrong...

I wonder how much energy Sheryl's tour bus (and equipment tractor trailers) use? Perhaps she should stop touring and wasting fuel. Might not save a tree but it will help the environment in so many ways.

and lol about scooting on the lawn.

Rush said that if Al Gore would use just one sheet and could show him proof (proof, but not the tp!) that he would use just one also!

Another liberal hypocrite at work. She should be embarrassed to propose such a ridiculous idea given that she wastes tons of paper on her CD covers; petro-chemical products making the CDs; travels in quite a nice tour bus, I'm sure; flies all over the world wasting jet fuel. It brings to mind the hypocricy of John Edwards "fight for the poor" from his 20,000 sq ft home and his $400 haircuts; and Al Gore preaching of global warming from his toasty 10,000 sq ft home. Give me a break! It's yet another case of "Do as I say, not as I do. No thanks.

Did anyone else hear about the clothing line she is developing? It is to cut down on the use of napkins and kleenex. It has a removable sleeve that the wearer is supposed to wipe their mouth on after eating or if they have a cold, they can wipe their snotty nose on it. I wonder if she'll wear one of those outfits to the Grammys next year?

I totally agree!! I sure wouldn't want to sit next to someone who was using their sleeve to wipe their noses!! That's unsanitary. And all that washing of the sleeve is using resources too!!!

I think its funny!!! We buy the cute little dogs on the cottonelle brand for my kids to learn not to waste. For those of you that haven't seen this brand its a regular roll of toliet paper but, it has paw prints over about two sheets of the paper and it leads to a puppy. the kids are supposed to tear of above the puppy. Its a good idea and it has helped my kids not to use to much toliet paper. But it has three sheets for little kids!! I need at least five to six sheets!!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hey I bet alot of people here will be right there with ya!!! Should this idea go on the TOT or the Around My House board??

What about the old days? We could start using the store catalogues like the pioneers used the old Sears one. We could use leaves, rocks, old newspapers, magazines.
We could use our hands (just being sarcastic LOL) and then wipe them on the lawn to save water.
