People like to say plants "eat sunlight" and "breathe CO2", but actually, it's closer to the opposite! They crack off the carbon in the air to build themselves and release oxygen, similar to the way we turn food into fuel and poop, and power the process using photosynthesis, similar the way we power our cells with oxygen.
