Singer / actress Sheryl Crow has used her big brain to solve the global warming threat to the world. Here are some of her solutions......
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.
Crow (4/19): I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve." The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold.
Crow (4/19): This next idea I have been saving but I will share it with you if you promise not to steal it. It is my latest, very exciting idea for creating incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints. It's a reality show. (I feel pretty certain NO ONE has thought of this yet!) Here is the premise: the contest consists of 10 people who are competing for the top spot as the person who lives the "greenest" life. This will be reflected in the contestant's home, his business, and his own personal living style. The winner of this challenging, prestigious, contest would receive what??. . . . a recording contract!!!!!

I don't have any problems with cloth napkins if my servants don't mind washing them. For that matter the dining sleeve would be great if my parents hadn't taught me any manners.

Dining sleeve? Sheesh, that's what ties were invented for.
I don't even want to think about the 'TP police' monitoring the number of sheets of toilet paper used........

With all the insults and ridicules being thrown around I didn't see one suggestion on how to better the enviroment and cut down on greenhouse gasses. Her plans may not work or may sound rediculous but atleast she's making that part of her thinking process which is something that none of us are doing as we sit here putting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere via our computers being online. Global warming is everyones problem. It's not a democrat or republican problem, it's not a political problem. We have but one earth that we are aware of at the moment. We all live here and we should all share in the responsiblity of cleaning up the air because we're all polluting it. So my question is to everyone who is poking fun at Sheryl Crowe. What are yall doing to make our enviroment better? I suppose the joke will commence after I post this so here goes.

ET, I've posted on the topic, so have a number of others. I'm actively looking into a retirement business having to do with solar energy just because I take it seriously. However, suggestions like monitoring the amount of toilet paper used at a 'sitting' deserve to be ridiculed.
And I ain't gonna stop laughing till the fat lady sings, and I don't mean Ms. Crow obviously...even if it's gallows humor.

Well the point I was trying to make was. Sure that may be a far fetched idea especailly seeings how 90% of the toilet paper we use today is recycled mail but it's still someone thinking about the problem which is great. Usually when a celebrity does or suggests something it get their fans to thinking about it too and hopefully acting on it. If everyone did a little bit for the enviroment not only nationally but globally ,then alot would be done.

Click Here To Learn About Global Warming
This is a pretty good website I found that everyone who so chooses to do so can educate themselves and they also have an action center on there as well so you can get pro-active if you would like.....Hope ya enjoy.

Another big brain has responded to Ms Crow......
Rosie O'Donnell - "Have you seen the size of 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.

Absolutely not, at least not uncovered.  And I hope never to be privy to such a phenomenon either.

I been thinking too. Used to recycle with the company in the area but then I began to think how are poor people supposed to live so now, I feel so rightious when I chuck my beer cans out the window on the way home from work so they have something to pick up and turn in for badly needed cash. Seriously, I figured that if we bought three ply, then re rolled it into single ply we might not be able to save a dam thing but, at least would feel good about it. Course, that's only here where it seems we are even thinking about it. In the third world, they just pollute and pollute without thought of the morrow. Nut, least we are protecting some of our forests while the rest of the world is turing theirs into desert
Fortress North America, least it'll be clean.
Oh, used an old Bobby Sherman CD I got at a garage sale and used it as a beer coaster. We should all do the same, save the planet sort of thing. Guess I am better than most on the tread after all as I am at least doing something.

Wow. I wouldn't pay but, on a friday night I could get into it. Never know.
