Comments

The average human exhales about 1 kilogram of carbon dioxide on an average day. Carbon makes up 27.3% of that: ~300 grams. That's the weight of a smartphone.

The logistics would be complicated, average plants aren't going to be accumulating so much mass so quickly. You would need aquariums full of algae. Just isn't worth it.
