If so, you are not helping save the earth; according to Sheryl Crow. Can you imagine?! And, this idea is not taken out of context. Here is the source:

Singer Sheryl Crow and environmentalist Laurie David have been traveling across America on a two-week Stop Global Warming College Tour, which winds up today at George Washington University. Crow and David (co-producer of the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" and wife of "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Larry David) have been touting their cause and chronicling their travels in a rather idiosyncratic blog. Here, on Earth Day, are a few excerpts:
Crow (4/19, Springfield, Tenn.): 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 forest conservation which we heavily rely on for oxygen. I propose a limitation be put on how many squares 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.
So, tell me, how many squares do you use??

A guy can get in trouble that way. 
I take it to the extreme, and use the last piece of paper towel that I dry my hands with to put over the door handle and open the door. Then I toss it back into the restroom in the general direction of where the paper towel basket is located. If I miss, oh well, at least I haven't infected myself with someone else's germs. Before someone asks, yes, I do use a paper towel to shut off the water also after washing my hands. Old habits don't die, and this is what I was taught when I first got into EMS. As the fellow that I was with said, "leave the germs in the hospital, and don't infect yourself and others".
