The statement was not that a person could become carbon neutral, but that one can “reduce your carbon emissions to zero.” The only way to do that is to stop breathing, eliminating waste, and decomposing.

STOP CARBON EMISIONS

END THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!

The circle of life with its never ending cycle of atoms is causing global warming.

END THE CYCLE! Ban the Circle of Life!

(until then the circle of life offsets and taxation credits will be imposed)

I interpreted from the full system perspective. If a human's carbon consumption exceeds his total emissions, that human is a carbon sink. Vice versa, that human is a carbon source (emitter).
