But just to refresh your memory, I’ll use the European Space Agency’s (ESA) recent definition: “When they photosynthesise, plants use sunlight to break apart water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then combine the resulting hydrogen with carbon dioxide from the air to create carbohydrates”. Cool, right? Our collective problems solved….
