Global Warming and (My) Ways to Do Something About It

Hey there people of the web,
Have you noticed that the world's gotten hotter? Sure, you might not be sweating, but don't you feel the intense heat on yourself? Well, that's one of the effects of global warming. Factors? The thinning of the ozone layer, and the thickening of the carbon dioxide build up (the greenhouse effect).
I've always wondered what I can do (what I imagine I can do if I have the capabilities to) if I could do something about these layers, to do something about the global warming crisis.
First of all, I've been wondering if there's a substance, that can absorb carbon - OR carbon dioxide - from the carbon dioxide build up. You know, like a sponge that can absorb water, or (if I'm wrong, please correct me) anhydrous calcium chloride that can soak water vapour, is there something that can absorb carbon from carbon dioxide - or even just soak carbon dioxide altogether. That way, when carbon dioxide is broken down, oxygen will be left. But then, will oxygen have any effect to our atmosphere? Well, maybe the thickening of the ozone layer. And that's good right?
And to add to that, can we make ozone that is able to be sent to the ozone layer in the stratosphere? I saw Mythbuster, and there was this episode about defying gravity that they did using a triangle coiled with wire. I think they said the current around the wire created a ? magnetic field ? that ionized the oxygen around it (I don't even know what it means). But they said it created ozone. So, is there a way we can send this ozone gas to space? To thicken the ozone layer?
Now you gotta understand, I'm still just a teenager, o.k. My facts may not be true, and my education may not be enough. But I want to know what people think of my ideas, and what we can do to help this earth live longer.
