Turning on a bathroom vent fan is remarkably effective. Based on the CO2 monitor in my basement utility room, turning on a bathroom vent fan in the upstairs lowers the CO2 in the entire house within a few hours. An energy recovery ventilator would be ideal, though, as it wares much less energy while still lowering your CO2 levels.

It would be awesome if there were a way to actually capture and sequester in-home CO2, so that your in-home number could be lower than the outdoors. But I’ve never heard of such a thing.

They are practically useless in reality. You’d have to live in a greenhouse for them to absorb your CO2 basically.
What about like a tiny cactus on my nightstand?

Will that help calm my anxiety and help me accept the inevitability of death and see it as the indivisible half of the miracle of life?

It might take your mind off existential anxiety-related thoughts if you stab yourself on its spines in the dark.
You haven't seen my house.
