Carbon Negative?

Here is one person's take on the issue:

Two terms are being used interchangeably despite being opposites: carbon positive ` carbon negative. In both cases people are referring to offsetting or sequestering more carbon dioxide than is emitted. To date, neither Wikipedia nor Google definitions has weighed in on this matter. As the point is to leave less CO2 in the atmosphere than you put in, we at Z+ think it makes sense to call it carbon negative. We are however willing to concede that offsetting beyond neutrality is a positive thing to do!

Jim VAT does not think it is possible to be carbon negative, nor even carbon neutral, throughout the entirety of all your life's actions. The best we can do is reduce what we currently emit and use non-carbon based alternatives.
