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."
The tour ended on Sunday at the George Washington University in Washington DC, where Crow performed with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Carole King.
Laurie David's husband, Seinfeld creator Larry David, also appeared.
Crow has also commented on her website about how she thinks paper napkins "represent the height of wastefulness".
She has designed a clothing line with what she calls a "dining sleeve".
The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve" after the diner has used it to wipe his or her mouth.
The shows involved a short set by the singer, a talk by David and segments of Al Gore's environmental film An Inconvenient Truth.
Layoffs loom as Greens shun Charmin.
Gore removes toilets from rent houses.
Hillary proud of stained pantsuit and new accent.
Excellent idea!...but I’ll need only one roll. How many squares are in a roll?...thats two craps a day for two squares a day right?
“Where can one go to purchase a stained rubber band to wear around one’s wrist to support the Crow.”
LMAO. Maybe it could be imprinted with the phrase “WipeStrong” and sold for $2, with benefits going to Cheryl’s favorite charity.
One more graphic reason why hippies smell
If Sheryl Crow is so damn concerned about the Earth why did she become involved in getting Lance Armstrong's 1970 GTO overhauled on the TV show "Overhaulin"?
They built a tire ripping, gas guzzling, carbon spewing monster with her help. Where was her "saving the planet" BS a short time back when she was on this TV show that built a car that's ovbiously not a Prius? Cool car by the way.....
another headline...Hillary now only wears brown pantsuits and smells heavily of Lysol.
“If it weren’t such a disgusting thought and act, everyone should mail her their used toilet paper to show how disgusting she is.
I wouldn’t want that germ carrier within a country of me”
It just occurred to me why she and her ex like France so much.

I don't expect to see this mentioned by the Algore Global Warming Flacks in the MSM.
Betcha she’s got dingleberries!
but have Crow with her tounge out..................lmaorolf
This is EXACTLY what we need: Toilet Paper Police. Brilliant.
And if she does??? Uh, YUK! How much extra water and soap does she need to use - or waste - to then sanitize her hands? And I really hope she does sanitize....
And the detachable sleeve thing? Puh-lease! How many 3rd world country children will be stuck in sweatshops making those useless things? Answer: Just enough to make Sheryl feel good about her efforts to save the earth...
Help, we need more 
, fast!
“One more graphic reason why hippies smell”
Stinking hippies!
When I was a kid, someone told me that was the allotment for the average joe in the Soviet Union
I can give you a first-hand verification: when I was in what was the USSR, as we entered a toilet a woman was seated at the entrance and handed each person ONE HALF of ONE LAYER of paper. Now, here are the details - take a standard, very cheap quality, folded paper table napkin. Open it up and CUT each quarter into a SINGLE thin square. Now give it the texture of wax paper. THAT is what is provided for use in ‘Russia’. Hence, when going to Russia, take along a few rolls and use the sparingly.
She must have a lot of time/poop on her hands between performances to sit around dreaming this crap up.
“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”
Yikes! I wonder how long it takes her to DECIDE to actually go s***!
Stinky Crow was also on American Chopper helping them make a Chopper for Lance. Guess that toy doesn’t count either.
Let’s sell her some carbon credits from a Mexican claypot builder??
