What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?

    Therefore it is up to consumers to make sure that being environmentally conscious is profitable.

    I was going to buy Hondas anyway because they are cheap and reliable but if Honda as a company really does become carbon neutral that’s an added bonus that I’m thrilled about. Even if Hondas become moderately priced and reliable instead of cheap and reliable as a result, they’ll still be on my radar.

      You counter your own point…

      You cannot trust people to do what is right for the environment. They wont do anything until they see the effects for them selves and by then it is far too late to do anything meaningful. And if/when they do finally care all they see is a lot of green washed campaigning by every company claiming to be green when non of them are and they have no real choose and a lot of confusion. You need strict and effective regulation to curve this behavior in companies.
