If I add baking soda to lemon juice and water or use carbonated water is the carbon the same as the CO2 in the atmosphere? - eviltoast

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

    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
