Bottom Line Up Front: In another “shut up and sing” moment for the recording industry, singer Sheryl Crow weighs in on ideas to save the earth from pesky human intrusions into Mother Earth’s personal space and stopping global warming. This is not a parody.

Her self-titled ecoblog is chalked full of GREAT ideas, including saving the earth by saving the toilet paper:

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 conserving trees which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares 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. When presenting this idea to my younger brother, who’s judgement I trust implicitly, he proposed taking it one step further. I believe his quote was, “how bout just washing the one square out.”

OMG. And she’s serious. I can only assume her blog provider doesn’t have spell check. Obvious observations about hygiene will saved for the comment section!

She goes on excitedly to share another explosion of brilliance as long as no one steals her idea…. AS IF!

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. It’s a reality show. (I feel pretty certain NO ONE has thought of this yet!). Here is the premise: the contest consists of 10 people who are competing for the top spot as the person who lives the “greenest” life. This will be reflected in the contestant’s home, his business, and his own personal living style. The winner of this challenging, prestigious, contest would receive what??…. a recording contract!!!!!

Is anyone else blushing for her? Poor thing. In Hollywood, narcissism is a terrible thing to waste.

2. Amy, you clearly don’t get a joke when you read it. Lighten up already!

   Nevertheless, interesting how Rove seems to be the only man in America who doesn’t want Sheryl Crow to touch him. I wonder why?

   These Hollywood and NOW women are the most pompous hypocrits to come down the road since the Pharisees. The only time we hear from them is when the powder gets wet on THEIR asses.

4. Hey Sheryl,

   I tried your one-sheet-of-toilet-paper idea last night and found that it quickly reaches an irreversible tipping point. Any other ideas?
