CO₂ Breathing Emission Calculator

Calculate the volume and mass of CO₂ exhaled by a person per day and per year from tidal volume, breath rate, and exhaled CO₂ concentration (~4%). Furthermore, human breathing is carbon-neutral because the CO₂ comes from food that was recently fixed from the atmosphere by plants.
