Sheryl Crow suggests wiping our arses with one square...
to help save trees and reduce global warming. Or you can use two or three "on those pesky occasions" when more is needed, she said on her blog (which, unfortunately, has closed comments). Global Warming is a serious issue, I agree. And it requires action. But come on...this little earth-saver simply won't work for me. And if you think it will work for you, just pull off one square the next time your sitting on the throne and ask yourself if you can do a good job with that! I don't think so.
Crow was in Washington, DC yesterday on the last stop of her "Stop Global Warming College Tour." If the media coverage is any indication, it looks like the tour was successful in raising awareness about the issue. Or maybe it was her little run-in with Karl Rove that generated the news.
So were the Rove and one-square things just publicity stunts? If so, I guess they worked, but at what expense? Sheryl, I love you and own all your albums, but please don't do this to
your reputation. Don't become an environmental wacko. You've got
great credibility, star power, and you really could do important things
to help stop global warming. Don't sacrifice credibility for publicity.
