Why don't you start working out to produce more CO2? Exhale more CO2 to contribute to humanity now.

Remains only catch all CO2 before it gets into atmosphere and catch all CO2 from atmosphere which already produced.
Also they forgot about methane.

You could put it in a volcano and capture A LOT of CO2
Even more CO2 than cars produce

I doubt corn is anywhere near 68% efficient.
