Save the trees
American Pop Star Sheryl Crow, while touring the United States to raise consciousness about global warming and forest conservation made international headlines by calling for regulation of how much toilet paper an individual may use. [2] [3] Crow told ABC's Good Morning America,
| “ | I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. | ” |
Good Morning America in May 2007 interviewed Colin Beaven, [4] a liberal New Yorker and environmentalist so concerned he has sworn off the use toilet paper. Beaven has extended his crusade against despoiling the planet by refusing to buy anything in packaging, will not use any form of transportation including elevators, and insists that all his food be grown within 250 miles. Interviewer Diane Sawyer responded, "It really makes sense to me." [5]
