Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide and use the carbon to build their structures. They then release the oxygen into the atmosphere. The same is true with many plankton. Carbon dioxide is also frozen to produce "dry ice", and pumped into fire extinguishers to put out fires. Carbon dioxide is also forced into water, producing carbonic acid... that's the fizzy stuff that makes soft drinks bubble and makes you burp.

Carbon dioxide is used in life jackets which often contain carbon dioxide for quick inflation. High concentrations can also be used to kill pests, such as the common moth. Leavening agents produce carbon dioxide to cause dough to rise, it is used in some fire extinguishes especially those designed for electrical fires. Plants require it to conduct photosynthesis and green houses may enrich their atmospheres with additional CO2 to boost plant growth.

The frozen form of carbon dioxide, dry ice, can be mixed with hot water to make a white mist that is used in theatres as steam or fog.
