‘Fresh Mountain Air in a can’ sold to smog-troubled Chinese

Fresh mountain air’ has been captured and shoe-horned into a can and is now being sold to urban residents in smog-troubled China – reports The Daily Express.

Luanchuan County in Henan Province has come up with the novel way of making money by essentially ‘bottling’ their fresh air.

They are planning on selling it to residents across China, whose pollution problems have been described as an environmental crisis by the World Health Organisation.

Duan Junwei, Deputy Director of Luanchuan’s Tourism Bureau, said the first batch of tinned forest air would be given out to urban citizens for free.

However, anyone wanting to breathe in a tin of fresh mountain air after that will have to pay for it.
