You may assume that more CO2 will yield better plant growth, but it actually reduces plant growth:

Talk to them. Since we release co2 when we breath out or speak then that would, in a sense, increase the co2 levels around the plant.

well when you increase the co2 or carbon dioxide it will basically make it better off because plants need co2 to live like we need oxygen to live also

Plants take in CO2 and release oxygen, similar to how we take in oxygen and release CO2. More CO2 will increase plant growth.

with climbing co2 levels from factories and cars, plants find it very hard to intake the co2 for photosynthesis because it is too concentrated.

Co2 is carbon dioxide. plants need to make glucose for thier energy source or food. they make it in a process called ATP. to start this process plants need carbon dioxide. the more CO2 there is, the more energy the plant makes, making it grow.

carbon dioxide is like an oxygen to plants. they need carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis which helps their growth.
