Why use toilet paper at all?! Water works much better. That's why

the French invented the bidet. Or better yet, do like the Asians,

just splash a lot of water down there with your own hands after

squating down over a whole in the ground. Nature's solution.

Crow calls for limit on loo 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 propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can

be used in any one sitting "

Sheryl Crow

"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.
