China Pollution 2015: Smog-Choked Chinese Buy BOTTLED AIR From Canada
Is this Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" coming to real life?
Beijing, China was recently the subject of the first ever 'air quality red alert'. The authorities issued highest ever pollution warning in the country. Some of the businesses and the schools in China had to shut down because of the hazardous smog that went beyond the chart readings.
Some companies are profiting off to Beijing's “red alert” like Canada's 'Vitality Air'. The company's sales of "high-quality, bottled air” soared as China's pollution levels remain high. Troy Maquette and Moses Lam said they began selling the product as a joke, then realized that their bottled fresh rocky mountain air has a huge market in the increasingly polluted Chinese cities choking in toxic smog.
China's air pollution is really bad that the Chinese people spend their money to buy canned air that costs fifty times more than water.
Let's just hope that the people all over the world will work hand in hand to reverse this issue.
