The concept of Carbon Offsetting, or carbon credits is often met with mixed views.

Is it simply an excuse to carry on as normal but look like you're doing good? Or is it maybe a valuable tool? In fact, what is it? Where does the money go? What does it actually do? And what else are the big businesses doing to save the planet?

Tom explores all and more of these questions with Lucy Arndt from Ecosphere Plus, a company that specialises in conservation and generating carbon credits. Lucy is joined by her husband Nick Shute, a school friend of Tom's and co-founder of Dodds and Shute who have used Ecosphere Plus to assist their complete overhaul towards more sustainable practices.
