Cheryl Crow: "only one square per restroom visit"

One square of what you might be asking?
How about one square of... um... butt-wipe 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."
I guess the obvious response here is to have people like Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore and Rosie O'Donnell lead the way. Can you picture that?
I hope not.
And all you Cheryl Crow fans might want to think twice about shaking her hand at her next concert.
Sheez.

She was on Good Morning America this morning and said she was joking. But, also, she said she was glad it got people talking about global warming.

I can appreciate that Cheryl Crow was trying to be funny and otherwise raising awareness around global warming with the comment about ‘one square per use’, referring to toilet paper. However, I think that the humor disguises a real hypocrisy among the rich and famous. It’s okay for Cheryl Crow and Al Gore to request compromises among the general public in their consumption of fuel, electricity, water, and toilet paper. However, these are sacrifices to be made by everyone else. It is okay that Cheryl and Al travel the world in private jets and consume 20 times the average American home’s electricity in their private residences. It’s not, however, okay for anyone else. This approach is pure rubbish. Al Gore’s spokesperson states that the Vice President ‘purchases carbon credits’ to offset his personal consumption. This is complete nonsense and further illustrates my point! Purchasing carbon credits is not equivocal to conservation. It is simply an excuse that is acceptable among the rich and famous. The practice of purchasing carbon credits doesn’t mean a thing because it is not a wide enough practice. Even if it were, it is not equivocal to actually saving where you can – buying an airline ticket and riding with the masses, using less electricity and water because you can (and should). They are attempting to tell the general public that if you are rich or famous that you can simply disregard conservation and ‘buy carbon credits’ and that this is the same as what the masses are doing in their REAL conservation efforts. I am not saying that one cannot fly around in a corporate jet, drive a 1965 Cadillac, or put up stadium lights in your yard so your kids can play baseball all night long. I am just saying that we should stop making exceptions and call waste what it is, ‘Waste!’.
