: I’d say when your City is so polluted they’re selling cans of fresh air, things have environmentally taken a turn for the worse. The Chinese city of Beijing is so polluted with smog, that residents experience headaches and breathing problems as a result of this constant exposure. An entrepreneurial Chinese billionaire, Chen Guanbyao, has used this situation as a way of capitalizing on his wealth and now sells canned “fresh air” to locals on the city’s streets.

Think of how cheaply our factories could produce goods if they were allowed to kill the enviroment like China does.

FYI, this is an awareness campaign not a money making scheme. Chen is an environmental activist.

I bet those cans are manufactured in a factory with huge smokestacks, then shipped all over China on dirty diesel trucks! Brilliant!!!

I've been to China a few times; caught in a traffic jam on more than one occasion you just sit there breathing in that gray air, which makes you dizzy and nauseous. The worst part is that there is no escape, you have to breath, so you just keep sucking in the thing you know is making you sick.

I understand that people are probably going to thumb me down for saying this. But not so long ago in today's developed world such as Britain, US, Germany and France, pollution was a serious ass problem too.

Saying that, I think the Chinese government need to start putting some serious efforts into cleaning up their manufacturing industry. The worst thing about the current pollution in Beijing is that its doesn't even originates in Beijing as there are barely any factories in the city itself. Most of the pollution comes from neighbouring cities with heavy industries. Disgrace.

If you read some articles he is actually producing these as a message that China needs to focus on cleaning up their air.

Stupid thing is that the process of making and shipping these cans of "fresh air" causes even more pollution!

Irony is the problem with the air is caused by pollution. Pollution which is caused my manufacturing cans, bottles, clothing. This will not end well.

theres a reason the US has the EPA. That's What You Get When You mass produce everything dirt cheap. Once they adopt regulations all the dirt cheap made in China crap will go away
