Especially when with the drive to save water, washing that finger thoroughly may not be possible.....

I despise the deforestation that goes on in my country, but for the right reasons: because of the wildlife and natural spaces displaced and destroyed so we can have another crappy subdivision. I will be the first to admit that the ecosystems threatened are a treasure trove of potential medicines and knowledge for the benefit of humanity, but this air argument is pure horseshit.

Trees are responsible for producing the earth's oxygen about as much as Rosie O' Donnell's punch bowl of a head is responsible for keeping the moon orbiting around the earth: Both are significant enough to have an effect, but they are by no means the key ingredient. It's the phytoplankton that dwells on the surface of the ocean, which covers over 70% of the earth that's worth worrying about. That's our bread and butter.

I'd like to know how the number of squares used during bathroom visits can help when it comes to global warming.  And what if people have different size bottoms?  Fluffier people get two squares...itty bitty people get half?  I'm cornfuzzled.

Hrmmm, Toilet paper is the last of our concerns. If she's so worried about it, she for starters could stop touring. She may be using biodiesel but it's still consuming resources. 1 mile of her trip touring used more resources than a roll of toilet paper, LOL.  Hell, she could just jump in the nearest pond when she has to shit. And clean up that way. Or how about using a cloth, like old style diapers, and she could wash the shit cloth. She could even make a special purse with a ziploc pouch for storing the fouled cloth.

LOL. Toilet Paper, I guess.

Status: offline 		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"?

Status: offline 		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).

I don't suppose that matters all too much.  Far too many people don't wash their hands after a bathroom visit, and the fecal matter on the bathroom door, doorknobs, the arms of the chair and most everything else is equally if not more problematic.

wall stated.  the otehr component is that few will admit- that the precise bowel movement is an unrealized pleasure in life. if it could be taxed it would be. the whole world goes away during that magic moment!!!

the cotten industry killed teh hemp in teh ealry 1900s. it has cloth applications that are very sturdy. even tho they can grow it with NO THC, govt forbids it. parts of canada ARE growing it tho,

Yeah, that thinking always amuses me.  Where does it say that just because someone becomes famous, they lose their right to have/speak opinions?  Just like with not-so-famous folks, some of their opinions i agree with and some i don't.  This doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to state them though...................slave luci
