An article by <a href="http://shanghaiist.com/2016/05/04/china_buys_australian_air.php">Shanghaiist</a> published on May 4 said that John Dickinson and Theo Ruygrok, who consider themselves as pioneer “air farmers”, developed a technology to capture the “pure” atmosphere in different tourist spots in Australia. The air being sold is taken from places in Australia where mountains and beaches are found, and then air is pumped into disposable cans containing 130 deep breaths. The cans, which are under brand names Pure Gold-Coast Air, Bondi Beach, Blue Mountains, Tassie and Yarra Valley Air, are then sold to people in China at $ 20 (£10) a can. “We think our air is good enough to bottle absolutely,” said Dickinson; the co-founder of <a href="http://greencleanair.com/">Green and Clean Air</a>. <div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-middle"> </div> </div> “Take off the lid, put the lid on the end, the cap fits over the mouth and take a deep breath of pure air,” he added. Ruygrok, another co-founder of the company, said the cans contain the “smell from the beaches which have some salt in it while the smell from the mountains has some eucalypts”. An article by Jon Livesey for <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/fresh-air-beaches-mountains-australia-7901083">The Mirror</a> published on May 5 said that pollution in China has reached an intolerable level that major cities like Shanghai and Beijing are covered by thick smog. “The air pollution is very heavy now in China so we all love the pure air from Australia,” said Chinese personal shopper Vivian Zhou. “I buy the air from Australia for my clients and I post it back to them,” she added. Online users are not happy with the recent business development on canned air. Facebook user J. Toma said, “I hope you all realize that this is the beginning of being taxed to breathe since a company will now be profiting from a free commodity.” Another Facebook user T. Jade said, “This is absolutely ludicrous! It’s an excuse to allow pollution of the earth to continue with no consequences, as well as the beginning of a tax to breathe!” <aside class="mashsb-container mashsb-main"><div class="mashsb-box"> <div class="mashsb-count"> 132 SHARES</div> </div> </aside> <center> </center> <a href="https://blockads.fivefilters.org">Let’s block ads!</a> <a href="https://github.com/fivefilters/block-ads/wiki/There-are-no-acceptable-ads">(Why?)</a> <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/fresh-air-from-australian-beaches-and-mountains-sold-to-smog-hit-china-for-10-a-can/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a> <div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-bottom" style="display:block;text-align:center;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3942681860132668" data-ad-slot="4831328630" data-ad-format="auto"></ins> </div> </div>
