Looks like tickets ($26) are still available for "Hedonistic, Healthy and Green: Can We Have It All?," a conversation between Michael Pollan (do we even need to ID him anymore? nah…) and Dan Barber of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, the breakout star of SOLE-minded chefs. They’re going to discuss "what to order, what to buy and what to cook to maximize your health and tasting pleasure and to lessen the impact of your choices on the environment" at the 92nd Street Y.
So, do you think Pollan’s buying carbon offsets for this book tour? That will NOT be one of my questions on Feb. 7. Because as hard as I’ve tried, I can’t seem to wrap my head around carbon offsets.

I heard an NPR (or possibly Marketplace) story the other night about carbon offsets — well, to be more precise, fraud in the carbon offsets market — and the more I hear about them, the less impressed I am.

Carbon offsets stink of medieval church indulgences to me.
