I spent most of my time in Utah almost seeing stars. Hung out with a biofuels enthusiast that Ed Begley Jr. had hung out with the day before. Rode in a car that chauffeured Bradley Whitford the previous two days. Touched a poster that Justin Timberlake would touch just the next day. Sigh.
An update (complete with photos of celebrities that I did not touch) came in today from Ice Lounge organizing-marketer-guy Scott Samson. Thanks to donations from Sundance highrollers (stars I did not touch among them), The Conservation Fund offset more than 10,500 tons of carbon dioxide by planting approximately 7,200 trees in wildlife refuges. And my ride in the shiny silver spy car made my eco-savvy-celeb stalking carbon neutral. Weeee!
I touched this. And then Justin Timberlake did. If only he'd give me some carbon neutral in a box.

I have to plant only 18 trees to offset my emissions for the next 70 years! Yahoo! That is the entire household, including commuting to work in an SUV. I'll be carbon neutral by the end of the year! I think I'll plant some shagbark hickory, a few red pines, some white oaks. That'll do it. I can crank the air conditioning this summer and relax with a book.
Uh... there must be something wrong with their calculator. It can't be that easy.

I think I better turn down the heat, turn off the lights, and go to sleep. The longer I sit in front of this computer at night, the more trees I will have to plant.
