Kermit the Frog found out 'It ain't easy bein' green' ... well, now it's about to get ... < ahem > ... 'rougher' for those fans dumb enough to abide by the dictates of one Sheryl Crow, the 'greenie' singer who thinks her 'star status' gives her power over what people wipe with - as well as other aspects of how they live their lives. Will the 'green' toilet paper will be restricted to her favorite size - the one-inch square - per wipe?
If y' remember, these are the SAME demands that made it impossible for lots of vendors to supply the Democratic 'Convention' in Colorado in '08 ... they never learn ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/sheryl-crow-queen-green Sheryl Crow, The Queen Of Green Singer’s 2010 rider demands recycled toilet paper, offers promoters “greening” tips AUGUST 11--Touring the United States and Europe this year, Sheryl Crow arrives at venues with an assortment of environmental demands certain to vex concert promoters, according to a review of the musician’s 2010 backstage rider. The document, excerpted here, actually has a 2-1/2 page “environmental portion” to be “strictly followed and policed.” Seeking to “minimize the overall environmental impact of our tour,” Crow demands that only biodegradable cups and dinnerware be used by the caterer. Produce should be “organic and purchased from local suppliers as much as possible.” And for the five backstage “watering stations,” water “must be sourced from a local spring water vendor.” According to Crow’s rider, her tour party travels between gigs in two 45-foot buses, while her equipment is packed into two tractor-trailers. (And the 'carbon footprint' of those vehicles during the course of her tour is ... ? I betcha they ain't 'bio-diesel'. ) Crow, 48, also offers promoters “venue greening suggestions.” She wants “traditional light bulbs” swapped out for compact fluorescent bulbs in “all offices, dressing rooms and common areas.” “Eco-friendly cleaning and bathroom products” and “post-consumer recycled toilet paper and paper towel” should also be used.(Note: 'POST-consumer' ... ) Crow’s rider also notes that, “We strongly encourage you to use renewable sources and/or to buy sustainable energy credits where possible. Many local utilities offer ‘green power’ as an option--please check with yours and opt in.” |
