Their college tour ended, Sheryl Crow and Laurie David describe their efforts to stop global warming as part of the "most important mission" of the times. That's the hope of Grammy-winning rocker Crow and David, who produced the Oscar-winning documentary movie "An Inconvenient Truth. Advertisement "It's great to go out and play music, and I love that, too. And it's also nice to make money. But this is not that," Crow said in an interview on Sunday in Washington. "This is a whole bunch of people dedicating their time, their lives, working for free, for a mission. And it is the most important mission." The pair rode a biodiesel bus on an 11-stop college tour to raise awareness about global warming. The tour began this month at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and was timed to end on Earth Day.

Ever since I heard of this tour, I have been wondering where they fill up the biodiesel bus. I've never seen a gas station that sells the stuff. It seems more likely to me that they would have to have a gas or regular diesel powered tanker truck to haul the biodiesel along with the tour, which would defeat their purpose.
did they sleep together while doing the tour ?
No problem finding it (and E-85) here in northern Illinois. The Biodiesel is mostly at truck stops.
One sheet Sheryl.
Still waiting for the global ice sheet that the liberals promised in the seventies. It just gets sillier and sillier.
How much energy is used at one of her concerts? And all the energy used by people traveling to and from her concerts?
Couldn’t she make a strong contribution in this area by just staying home?
If you REALLY wanted to stop global warming, you'd use BOTH SIDES of the toilet paper.
holymoly
Well they AINT GONNA find E-85 here in Texas we enjoy shooting our guns and burning our oil. I hope they don’t come down this way anywho.
Just one of their regular vacations would have used more carbon than I have used my entire life. And they will continue to fly their private planes (I understand it is one that can go from US to Japan without a fuel stop) and now they want me to be put in a tall box so they can continue to roam free with royalty. CRAP!
And let it dry and use it at least one more time.
I suppose I could get by on just one sheet if I had to. I could probably get by without the entertainment industry, too. Which do you suppose would save more energy and natural resources?
She's one sheet short of a wipe.
I am in favor of alternate fuel, but the sad fact is that we don't have enough arable land to grow all the fuel we use. At best, biofuels will only replace part of the petroleum fuel we use. That means that wasting a gallon of biodiesel is the same as wasting a gallon of petroleum diesel. If Sheryl Crow really believes this global warming stuff, then she would do the planet a favor by not running around in a bus, period.
This is going to be fun! :)
Has anyone asked her about one of her songs helping to sell Subaru Outback 4x4s in commercials?
I guess a few sheets in the wind would be wasteful now eh?
