I was thinking of making lemonade and was wondering if it would let CO2 into the atmosphere or not.

    Yes. Carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide. But the volume you’ll be releasing wouldn’t even show up as a 10th decimal rounding error, so I wouldn’t worry. Just breathing will release more.

      Also CO2 is a natural part of the carbon cycle. It’s still needed and used by the nature around you, and the little CO2 you produce by existing is ok. It’s the excess CO2 produced by our modern lifestyle that’s the issue.

      Advocate for change on those fronts, but enjoy your fizzy lemonade @gamers_mate@kbin.social

          Fair point, I’ll edit in the rest of it

          It seemed like OP was uncomfortable with the little CO2 they’d produce by existing, so it felt relevant to point out.

          Excess CO2 is still an issue

      Not to mention that CO2 was previously captured before you can even put it into your drink. taps temple knowingly
