Plants suck in CO2 when they are storing energy, but when they spend their energy they make CO2 just like us. Plants have a respiration process just like animals. They just tend to remove more CO2 than they put out (until they get burned/turn into coal, oil, etc)
- gillier 12y agoRight, but when plants grow, they are net CO2 absorbers -- that's what photosynthesis and carbon offsets and "planting trees" is all about. There's a lot of carbon in those plants -- did it all come CO2 from the original supply in the bottle?
