Yeh it's a good noise...

but erm...
plants use oxygen at night

Only cos we make them...
... when they're emancipated they'll do what they want.

Also... we need a higher ratio of oxygen in the air than plants do... so it is conceivable that, although humans may die as a result of less oxygen in the atmosphere, sufficient amounts may remain to sustain plant life. :P

They don't stop respiration just because it's daytime you know
it's just that the rate of production of oxygen from photosynthesis exceeds the rate of consumption by respiration.

the point is, if all the plants held their breath, there would be less oxygen produced.
