The term Carbon Neutral has to do with the state in which the net greenhouse emissions emitted into the environment are equal to zero. The ultimate purpose is not to affect the natural concentration of greenhouse gases that exists in the atmosphere. Being Carbon Neutral means that the end result of an activity, a process or a project such as the production of a product or a service or its consumption has not emitted more greenhouse effect gases into the atmosphere than they have been able to capture or remove.
