Blogging from Bonnaroo 3

By the time you read this, I'll be at a comfortable cruising altitude -- and spewing CO2 into the atmosphere at an alarming rate. (Calm down ... I've offset the flight. Thanks, Native Energy!) I'm on my way to the Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester, Tenn., and not for the reasons you think. The four-day, multi-stage festival is cleaning up its act -- like a number of music festivals this year -- and making a real effort to be as green as possible ... no, not that kind of green ...

Anyway, I'll be rockin' the scene all weekend: interviewing eco-minded bands, snooping through recycling bins, hitting on hottie musician-types, checking out the solar-powered stage, and in general being way cooler than you.

Oh, and did I mention I'll be camping there? Which is quite funny actually ... seeing as how I've never camped. Like, ever. But I'm sure it's not that big of a deal, right? I mean, you just stick the little tent-pole thingies into the tent-loop thingies and voilá: you're camping! I mean, right?

Thankfully (or perhaps not), assuming I can get wifi/cell service -- and barring any tent-pole related mishaps -- you'll be able to live vicariously through me as I update the blog throughout the festival. Stay tuned!

    Buying carbon credits...

    ...is a scam. Why do we bother to pay for our pollution with cash when we're paying for it in our environment already? There's no real offsetting going on here...its people making money of pollution, which in a healthy capitalist society encourages more "paid" for pollution.

    I admire the motive but not the method. If we want to stop polluting, then STOP POLLUTING. Funny that our justification for so many things that don't make sense in reality is often based around money.  

    But Im glad you're at Bonnaroo. Thats gonna Ri-dic-u-lous! Have a time...
