    Cosy racket:
    "I think there is some confusion amongst the public about the difference between 'carbon neutral' and 'zero carbon'." continues John ...............

    "To achieve carbon neutral status, all Coppice Mews homes will be assessed by The Carbon Neutral Company to determine their carbon footprint. Investment in sustainable projects, such as wind farms, will then offset their annual carbon emissions. MilIwood Homes will ensure that construction is carbon neutral and will then buy ‘carbon credits’ for the first year after the buyer moves in, offering purchasers the option to carry on the good work for life."

    What a load of rhubarb! Even if I agreed with the whole carbon emission thing it is still all nonsensical.

    Good old carbon offsetting, I don't know why we're bothering with all this low impact/low energy malarky... when for a few quid we can just offset it all away... ;)

    Here are some handy steps for getting closer to zero carbon emissions. Basically give up driving and dont fly. Goodness knows what we will do when we get flying cars!
