"Would you like a chocolate covered Pretzel?"

From an amusing movie, but the topic reminds me of it.

I have to say that I am skeptical about the human impact of global warming. England produced wine from 1,000 CE to 1,300 CE because it was warmer then, and there certainly was no industrialization to drive global warming. Vikings settled in Greenland around the end of this warm period, but died out in what is called the Little Ice Age which ran between 1350 CE to 1850 CE.

But performers have a tendency to read an article or see a sound bite about some politically correct cause, then adopt the cause as though it were their own original idea. Given the fact that many of them are hair brained nincompoops, the cause gets distorted and blown out of proportion accordingly.

Fortunately, we have a biodegradable alternative to the great T.P. Eco-disaster. Cute white bunny rabbits. Just keep a box of fluffy bunnies beside the toilet, wipe your rump on them, and lob them out the window. No clogging of the drains, no depletion of the forests, no bleaching agents, just nature at work. The bunnies will rub themselves on the ground to get the mess off which will help in fertilization. Their fur will also shed and grow back, making this a renewable resource. And last but not least, the soiled varmints will provide a food source for the dwindling wolf and coyote populations.

Soil a rabbit and save the world! How much more environment friendly can you get than that?

We are all philosophers. Questioning our existence, it's background, current environment, and planning are all reasons why we have these big brains.

I guess her wit was just too subtle for the retards at the newspaper which originally went with this. ( WaPo WaTimes? I don't remember ) and they closed the "research" desk years ago, so you know... Fact checking just wasn't important.

Singers being philosophers... You ever actually listen to any of Guthrie, Dylan or Seeger's work?

IF I HAD A HAMMER (The Hammer Song)
words and music by Lee Hays and Pete Seeger

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

The BBC are "suckers!" - Couldn't agree more.

According to them...

quote:

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. Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6583067.stm

The biodiesel must offset the other cars and trucks in the caravan.

Pravda though has nothing on this story. They must not 'suck' as much.

Don't they have a new "Dr. Who" to promote or something?

Didn't even get the source right. It wasn't HER website... It was her blog on HuffPoo.

I am considered a tree hugger by many, and I do like Sheryl Crow. While I can appreciate her concern, one square is a bit absurd, and I would not want the toilet paper police breaking down my door. The concept is silly, BUT in her defense... there are likely thousands of people around the world who may heed her advice for life, and perhaps many thousands of trees may be saved thanks to her words. Her thoughts were harmless to all of us, and may even help our trees as a result. Go Sheryl!

I suggest buying bathroom tissue made with recycled paper... (No, it's not recycled (used) toilet paper).

one solution is to stop the chem tht make it white. its natural color is brown. canada pointed out how toxic that is to our lakes etc. why must it be white? i would be for unbleached toilet paper- paper plates, tissue, paper towels, you name it.

each toilet paper square represents 1 serving. sorta like sncks.

consdier this. i am 43 - i see what i throw out. over my lifetime- im sure it is a fotball field of waaste. now- x that by 300 million.

there is a tipping point where stuff enslaves u. it doesnt set u free.

say there is a 911 this minute. you havr 5 minutes to grab ur junk and evacate 500 miles- and will never return to your home. what would u grab?

B.O.B. - yer Bug-Out Bag... think about and prepare em now, before the next 911

How would they regulate the one toilet paper per sitting anywho? Are they going to install camera's into bathrooms around the world to make sure everyone is complying with the one square usage? Plus, if we're going to drop to such a low usage........ why not just use none? Isnt that why people generally shake right handed (or is it left?) because once upon a time one hand was solely desginated for "bathroom use"?

They could adopt the system I've seen in Mexico before. When you go to one of the public pay toilets, an attendant hands you some tissue. It's more than just one square though. However, testing might be needed before we implement that solution here. I nominate Sheryl Crow to be the attendant at the pilot Porta-Potty location for a trial period of 3 months or so. She can think of lots of other nify earth-saving ideas between customers.

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine gets stuck in the bathroom with no toilet paper and asks the woman in the next stall if she can "spare a square"?
