📖 Carbon's Endless Journey
The carbon atoms in your body right now might once have been in a dinosaur, a medieval tree, or floating in the atmosphere! Carbon constantly cycles between the air, living things, and the ground. It's never created or destroyed — just endlessly recycled. Understanding this cycle helps us understand climate change!
