For example, could alternative terms like "carbon reducing" and "carbon increasing" make it more clear and avoid misinterpreting which means which?

Ngl I've never heard anyone ever refer to "carbon negative" as "carbon positive" in my entire life until today.

I've seen it, I think, on some brand of milk, where the advertising on their bottles said they planned to go "carbon positive" by some year. Unless they were just being intentionally sneaky in an attempt to sound good while promising to do nothing.

Literally never heard "carbon positive" and I've been following this space since before some of you were born. Smells like some bullshit to me.
