Your
exercise for today:
Businesses are cashing in on China’s choking pollution by
selling bottled fresh air. The fresh air is collected at the scenic Zhejiang
province. Project manager Long Penn said “the air in the Tianmu Mountain Park
is so fresh that negative oxygen ion is much higher than the normal level”.
Letter to the editor
Have we
trashed our planet so badly that we have run out of water and now out of
air? We are drowning in our own
emissions, waste and packaging so the answer is to create more with bottled
air? Who are we kidding here? The
companies that are cashing in on people choking or the city dwellers that
marvel at all the advancements in technology, but now need an oxygen mask in
order to survive long enough to use it? Apologies
for the rant, but aren’t the best things in life free?

Media release
Bottled fresh air partners with Swap ‘n’ Go
The focus
of researchers today has been enhancements to the human body for optimum performance
through scientific supplements, fortified food and drinks, and now, to the air
we breathe. The crisp, clean air titled O2Go
is bottled from Tianmu Mountain Park in the scenic Chinese Zhenjiang province.
Smaller bottles of air were so popular that
the larger and more environmentally friendly 20 litre exchangeable containers
were sourced. The simplicity of
recharging the body with a natural and purified version of air did not need to
be explained to a general public encased in pollution.
Project manager and O2Go
advisor Long Penn states
“The saying
‘getting some fresh air’ is almost impossible in a burgeoning smog-filled city. There is nothing complicated about providing
the purest air possible. It is next to
clean water for a basic human need. We
have just provided a choice to consumers about the quality of the air they
breathe.”
O2Go
is available for purchase through the popular Swap ‘n’ Go facility at most
petrol stations in Asia with a view to selling to the first Australian city
Sydney later this year.
Blog post from an enthusiast
Our bottled water comes from a natural source of mineral
springs. Why should bottled air be any
different? If your waking hours are spent
in a fluorescent light filled with machine recirculated air; only to go home to
similar unnatural surroundings, then who wouldn’t want to pay for crisp, fresh
mountain air?
One thing that
shouldn’t be recycled is air.
