Fun fact: CO2 makes up only .04% of the atmosphere.

Where do trees come from?
The ground.
Wrong! Trees grow IN the ground. Trees come FROM the air. All of the structure of the tree is made of the carbon the tree pulled from the air. (thank you Professor Feynman for explaining that)
its truly unbelievable the number of people that look at an 80 foot tall tree and still believe that the carbon-based cells were generated from carbon in the ground
I believe greenhouses have carbon dioxide generators since growers have learned that 1200ppm (0.12% CO2 atmosphere) helps plants grow a lot faster. Still totally breathable. In fact, your bedroom probably gets up to 1200ppm at night if your door and windows are closed.
