What's wrong with having hundreds of plants then? Filtration doesn't get rid of CO2, opening the windows just brings your CO2 levels to whatever it is outside (at best).

Planting more plants is at least a step in the right direction. Everything else is more or less simply turning it into someone else's problem.

Just the practical component. If you’re in a closed environment, and you want to reverse your CO2 production, you need to create new biomass roughly equivalent to the quantity of food you consumed that day. The practical consideration that is totally skipped on the question renders the inquiry useless for any practical purposes for most humans

Not the whole biomass. Just the mass of CO2 that falls into the category of "collects in your house when the windows are all closed". I'm not going to argue that it's a small number nor that it's easy to take care of a large array of plants. It's just that everything else short of using plants seems like a simple offloading of CO2 elsewhere (e.g. opening windows). I'm not satisfied with such selfish solutions.

You're right that the practical consideration is important. It needs to be addressed and engineered to be made practical.

On top of that maybe we eat too much, but that's a off topic.
