...Tarzan and Jane had honeymooned in South Africa, the Tsitsikamma Forest?or "place of much water"?would have been their favorite bit (after his leopard-print underwear, of course). Stretching for 80 km along the Garden Route coastline is a verdant carpet of fynbos (Afrikaans for fine bush) and towering hard pear and Outeniqua yellow wood trees. It's also the perfect setting for those who like their outdoor experiences spiked with adrenaline: harnessed and helmeted nature lovers can whiz through the Tsitsikamma's treetops by strapping themselves onto a web of steel cables threaded through the forest canopy. Biologists...
...Volta, which is now defunct, Batali learned the basics--handmade pastas; slowly cooked Bolognese sauce; wild mushrooms, greens and berries foraged from the forest floor and served nearly unadorned the same day. In 1993, when Batali helped launch his first restaurant, Pò, he brought that unaffected Italian sensibility to downtown Manhattan. (He also needlessly added an accent mark to the name of Italy's Po River.)

...consumer offsets work? Take the nonprofit Carbonfund.org It sells absolution for personal and commercial emissions at a cut rate of $5.50 per ton of CO2. (A full year of carbon neutralization typically costs $99.) Carbonfund allows buyers to choose where their money winds up--in alternative energy, forest conservation or energy efficiency. Co-founder Eric Carlson says Carbonfund has offset about 40,000 tons of CO2 so far. That's not much. But its ultimate aim, he says, is to channel what support it gets into driving down the cost of clean energy--and, along the way, increase awareness...
...feed to hasten them to their fate as cheeseburgers. Organic farming? It has its virtues, but he discovers that our visions of contented cows and free-range chickens don't always match the realities. In a final lunge toward authenticity, he forages for mushrooms in a burned-over pine forest and shoots a wild pig, a primal confrontation that briefly reduces Pollan, an inexperienced hunter, to a state of near panic as he pulls the trigger while the pigs madly scatter. But in this clearheaded and sometimes heartbroken book, that would be the only time he gets seriously confused...
