So entrepreneur
Chen Guangbiao, reportedly worth $740m, has started selling cans of fresh air
for 5 yuan each.
According
to one report they come with atmospheric flavours including “pristine Tibet,
post-industrial Taiwan and revolutionary Yan’an.
In an
interview last year Chen explained the process for canning air, he said that
the air is put into pull-tag cans he invented, with a chip in each can.
The
air is not compressed – he said his staff need only swing their hands three
times to push the air into the can.
When there is enough air, the chip will
make the cap close automatically.
While
capitalism and CO2 levels maybe soaring in the China so it seems are the levels
of gullibility.
This process
for collecting air just sounds to me like Mr Guangbiao has sent his minions
half way up a mountain, or very steep hill, where they wave a can about for a
bit put the lid on it and then they bring it back and sell it.
What’s
even crazier is that people are actually buying it, never mind the fact that
the pollution created to make those cans will offset all the fresh air they
bring back.
According to the BBC, Beijing has reported air quality readings that
show pollutants present at 20 times the recommended limits.
And if that level of pollution continues it might reach a point in China
where you won't be able to see your hand in front of your face, but never fear Mr
Guangbiao has announced his next innovation boxes of sunlight.
They provide a beacon to guide you through the smog and allow you to
find your way home, but not after you’ve parted company with 10 yuan.
