If i use an 80 year old ford tractor to dig a trench and put trees that fell over during a hurricane in the trench and bury them, and plant on and around the hill that's made, i wager the carbon footprint is probably net negative. native groundcover and there are nurseries that start and sell 2 year old plants within a few miles. These are very old, established nurseries, the carbon footprint of their construction has amortized to nothing.
I don't want to read the article because it sounds like it'd get my blood pressure up. In the general sense not everyone can go net negative, but it doesn't matter because the benefits outweigh the potential for "carbon". To name just one benefit, genetic diversity.
