4/23 Sheryl Crow says you should only use 1 square of TP per sitting
http://urltea.com/f50 (washingtonpost.com)
\_ Remind me never to shake her hand.
\_ you'll never be allowed to get that close, so dont worry about
it. just buy her albums and have some bread with it and do
what you're told and all will be fine.
\_ Just don't buy one that she autographed. :-)
\_ In much of the non-Western world it is common to use 0 squares of
TP per sitting. A hand and some water is all that is necessary. W
Washing your hands afterwards clears up any hygine issues.
\_ Yeah, cholera is really no big deal. I'm sure in place that
use their hand and some water that washing their hands with
clean water and anti-bacterial soap is common place. You're
joking, right?
\_ The point is that in Western countries, accesses to clean
water and soap is not a problem -- there is no reason to
toilet paper at all, recycled or otherwise.
\_ Well - we can start using a bidet (like in Europe), or get one of
those smart Japanese toilet that sprays to clean. Did I mention
it also comes with seat-warmer?
\_ Absolute luxury: http://www.washlet.com/default.asp
\_ Oh my. The demo vids are priceles..
\_ That animated guy looks like he had an orgasm with all
that anal action.
\_ How does it keep the nossle clean when it's used by more than
one person?
\_ It deploys after you've defecated. Also, the nozzle is
aimed at an angle so it's not directly under you; the jet
of water acts at a distance so there's no contact.
\_ Two words: diarrhea, explosive
\_ But when the nozzle turns on it will spray that
back onto the guy who had the diarrhea. And then
wash that off with the rest of his ass dirt.
\_ Supposed the guy with diarrhea doesn't use the
spraying function after taking a dump. Then you
take a dump and try to use the function ......
\_ Switch to 100% recycled toilet paper would help as much. One can
buy those in Safeway and Trader Joe and probably other stores. The
brand I buy actually works better than those premium extra-soft
brands. |

| urltea.com/f50 -> www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/21/AR2007042101385_pf.html Sheryl Crow and I are in a biodiesel bus going thru the Southeast visiting college campuses to talk about the urgency of this issue and how everyone . I would write more, but I have to go run warm water over my hands and thaw out from my run. Al Gore who sat and talked with us on the bus about what he hopes to see happen in this country as the stop global warming movement catches fire. Having the former Vice President visit was like having your dad show up for Father's Weekend at the sorority house. We were giddy with excitement and proud to show him our home away from home. 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. Crow (4/19): I also like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness. I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a "dining sleeve." The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another "dining sleeve," after usage. The design will offer the "diner" the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold. Crow (4/19): This next idea I have been saving but I will share it with you if you promise not to steal it. It is my latest, very exciting idea for creating incentive for us all to minimize our own personal carbon footprints. This will be reflected in the contestant's home, his business, and his own personal living style. New York for a show that wasn't part of the tour but luckily rock stars have rock star friends. Tonight, I spoke outside the gorgeous Charlottesville pavilion, in front of a couple of thousand slightly inebriated college men (there to see the wonderful Robert Randolph and the Family Band) who were forced to sit through the opening act . Truly, it was one of the most challenging 20 minutes of my life. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw guys yawning, I heard kids saying "where's the music?" I rushed through the speech and when I walked off the stage I immediately burst into tears. Not because I took anything personally but because it was so clear how much work is still to be done. Tonight served as a stark reminder that social change is a journey and I learned tonight that not every stop is going to be easy.
