Sheryl Crow recently went green and boarded a biodiesel fueled bus on on an 11-stop college tour to raise awareness about global warming. The cross-country treck has given the rocker some time to think about possible solutions for global warming -- and has come up with the ingenius idea to monitor our ass wipes. Crow proposes a ban to limit the amount of toilet paper allowed for each bathroom visit. On her website, Sheryl Crow said she had spent most of an environmental tour of US college campuses thinking of easy ways for people to battle climate change.

"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," she said on her website. "I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting," she said.

"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 two to three could be required."

Crow has some other genius ideas. Among them, a new clothing line with built-in rags in case you spill.

"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," she said.

"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... this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold." Built-in snot rags? Sexy.

It sounds like Crow's ideas didn't fly at the White House. The New York Daily News reported that on Saturday, Sheryl Crow and Laurie David (wife of "Seinfeld" creator, Larry David) arrived at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington D.C., and Senior Presidential Advisor Karl Rove was unimpressed with thier plan to save the Earth. Laurie David revealed that they were hoping that Rove would take a "fresh look at the science of global warming," but instead Karl Rove, "Immediately got combative... throwing a tantrum, Mr. Rove launched into a series of illogical arguments." David wrote on the web site.

When Crow laid a hand on Rove's arm to try and diffuse the situation, he shook her off, snapping, "Don't touch me!"

Crow responded, "You can't speak to us like that, you work for us," to which Rove replied, "I don't work for you; I work for the American people."

"We are the American people," Crow responded.

Relating his version of the incident, Rove told the Washington Post that David "came over to insult me, and she succeeded."
