Carbon Neutrality is the key objective of many consumers and organisations seeking to nullify their impact on global emissions.  For many individuals and companies an available approach is to choose to offset gross emissions by purchasing Carbon Offsets. The Growth in this market over the last 5 years has resulted in a proliferation of approaches, new businesses and questions about the transparency of the process.

On this weeks show i have Jeff Angel the Executive Director of Total Environment Centre to examine this issue, and shed light onto the Carbon Offset Industry and where offsetting fits into the steps to achieving Carbon Neutrality.

Jeff has been an environmental campaigner since 1973 on a wide range of issues including: urban sustainability, waste management, air pollution, public transport, forest protection, threatened species, coastal planning, corporate environmental sustainability and renewable energy.

The Total Environment Centre has released a number of reports on the Australian Industry, but the findings and recommendations are applicable globally.

	Neutral and Beyond: A review of carbon neutrality #38; offsets  [PDF 215Kb] - Opinions from the industry on carbon neutrality and offsets.

My question for comments this week is
