Breathing Challenge

This is the breathing challenge!
Some of the eco team have been finding out how many times you breathe in a day  and how much CO2 you produce.
This is what we have found out so far.  
Did you know that one breath =0.5L which is 4% of CO2.
We also found out that you breathe 7 to 10 times in 30 seconds!
4% of 500ml = 20g of carbondioxide which = 1 breath.
1% = 125ml.
1% of 500ml = 5g of carbondioxide.
We estimate that you breathe 14 to 20 times in a minite.
28x2=56g.
4800g+24000g=28800g.
That is how much carbondioxide you breathe out if you do nothing but breathe - so that means you don't exercise.
So what a few of us did was figure out how much carbondioxide you breathe out if you exercise. So we doubled 28800g which = 57600g.
So now you know how much CO2 you breathe in a day!
Below is a picture showing you how you breathe in and out.
