"I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."
It's these kinds of statements that are not winning the hearts and minds of the people you actually need to convince Sheryl.
Ms. Crow said on April 19, in Springfield, Tennessee (Gore Country): "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. Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating. One of my favorites is in the area of forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."

I love Sheryl Crow but I wish she'd stick to general statements of support when talking about the environment.
ReplyDeleteThis idea has set the movement back a few years and has already been pounced on by environment neanderthals...
I agree. It's hard to see how this tour is helping convince anyone of anything...when they make statements like this. It's just about on the order of PETA tossing blood on fur coats. It doesn't really advance the cause at all, and may actually hamper it.
ReplyDeleteThis statement was so dumb, the green opponents will have a field day. "See how out of touch they are?"
