Abstract The purpose of my experimental project was to find a way to reduce carbon dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere, by manipulating plant growth. The experiment compared the difference in plant growth between three specimens using different applied atmospheric conditions. Using this concept, we can reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by increasing carbon dioxide consumption of agricultural crops in greenhouse enclosures.
