[ECO] Eco Footprint Not Changing or Deteriorating

Ok so, with all mods/cc disabled, I started a new game.  I could not totally recreate what I did because I don't have time for that.  But, here's where we are:

1. First of all, I am an idiot.  The arrow pointing - what I thought was in the negative - is actually going in the direction of green.  So my sim's off-the-grid lot is heading in the right direction supposedly but it's been stuck in neutral regardless.  I honestly don't know what else I could do other than to remove the toilet, sink, and fridge - even though they've been fully upgraded.  Also note, my power and water production have been in the positive every day.
2. The Quarry situation in the originally green neighborhood - same problem.  I replaced the lights and plumbing with more efficient ones (from eco pack), added eco industrial concrete, eco grass, tons of trees and bushes, wind turbines, solar panels, and the industrial water collector; and I cleaned up all the trash.  The lot has now moved from green to neutral and now the neighborhood is neutral.

Update to that, went back to my original game and I'm not an idiot, my off-the-grid lot eco footprint arrow is moving toward industrial.

I have no cc on that lot btw - have not used cc in Everest Harbor at all.

The only items I have that take power or water are: 1x sink, 1x toilet, 1x fridge, 1x shower, 1x computer - all of which I bought with the highest consumption rating and all have been fully upgraded.

All materials used were the most eco friendly.  Electrical items are fueled with bio insect fuel.  70% of the lot is covered in greenery and gardening.

In the new game I tried, I recreated that except didn't upgrade all the stuff cuz I didn't have time.  

In both games, both the Quarry and the off-the-grid lot are moving toward industrial eco footprint despite all my efforts.

seem to have a similar problem. I had two green lots in Willow Creek's Sage Estates while playing with another family. now that I've switched to one of the lots in Sage Estates, both of the lots are neutral and the neighborhood instantly switched from very green to neutral the last time I traveled, even though I made the one I play with even more green if the build mode descriptions are to be believed. the lot has been flip-flopping between going green and going neutral before. mostly when travelling or coming back to the family.

I know getting a region into green is only half the way. But keeping it to stay green to prevent decay, what I can say, very much a full-time job, you must keep refilling fuel cells in your upgraded applicances, making sure unnecessary electric lights remain off,  all plants watered, tidy house, and some of the big power consumers are the Fabricator and Recycler themselves, if you use those all day would certainly temporary bring the footprint down.

Mine work on a rollercoaster style, it's disappointing when you all hard work turns into neutral, but a good days work around the house I know I can bring it back up.

The eco footprint isn't seem to be changing, it only seemed to change, I've made all ten appliances eco friendly and nothing happens
