This is an exceedingly poor ROI. Attempting to implement the renovation would almost certainly result in the manager being discharged and replaced.

The surface area of Earth is about 510,072,000 km²
The weight of Earth’s atmosphere is then
W = (510,072,000 km²)[(100,000 cm/km)(1 in./2.54 cm)]²(14.696 lb/in^2)(1 ton/2,000 lb)
W ? 5,809,426,000,000,000 tons
W ? 5,809,426 billion tons
(400 tons)/(5,809,426 billion tons) ?
0.000068854 parts per billion ?
0.068854 parts per trillion ?
68.9 parts per quadrillion

It would take around a million years for 400 ton/year to have any effect one way or another on our atmosphere.
