I stepped out of the door at about 12:10 and the atmosphere noticeably improved. The story of my life.

Yeah, because humans breathe out carbon dioxide.
Cognitive decline has been observed in studies after 1000ppm, which is pretty wild.

It’s even scarier that CO2 levels have doubled in the last century, our atmosphere reached 420ppm last year, and our emissions keep increasing.
You (and everyone else) mostly burn carbon to live, hence the CO2 output. You’re a little engine.
Wait… “story of your life” you say?
Am I to understand that you did not realize you’re the source of the CO2 when you posted this?
Your plants might want to have a talk with you about the situation happening since 1400
So im order to reduce global CO2, we now know where to start 😉
put 0 on the y-axis to see it w/o the drama enhanced.
Bad presentation of the data but cool to see the 20% reduction….but you/Ruvi need to zero the y axis.
Does opening a window help stabilize this?
TheOneTrueFartman… Is that you?
Based on your experience, would you recommend Ruuvi Air? Considering buying one, love the tags.
If I was a betting man, I would say you went to bed around 10 and your BMR fell and Co2 production drops until you wake up at 6 or 6:30.
With that being said, what happened at 9am? Did you open the door to walk a dog or something? Strange dip there.
I wonder how many houseplants it might take to help offset that lol
What kind of sensor do you use?

If your Y axis started at zero this wouldn’t look that interesting
