    I mean… okay. What if I took a $1 bill from you and replaced with 4 quarters? Would that be “money neutral”? These metaphors aren’t really clearing up my confusion.

    Does the EU want carbon neutral to mean “zero carbon emitted during manufacturing/shipping/etc”?

    If so, that’s fine and clears up my confusion.

    I just think a “zero carbon” moniker would make more sense than “carbon neutral” which (at least to me) infers some kind of offset.
