Breath of fresh air in a can?

Posted by 7Jessica on February 4, 2013 at 11:08am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Since there has been talk about China's air pollution Chen Guangbiao decided to start selling a can of fresh air for 5 yuan or (80 cents). The air is collected and compressed from revolutionary regions. Chen really tries to encourage people to inhale or drink from the can. He says if they dont start caring for the environment then their children and grandchildren will probably be wearing gas masks and carrying around an oxygen tank. Do you think this is a good idea? What are your thoughts?

This sounds funny, when I have read for the first time, but when I think for the second time maybe that is not bad idea, since there is a lot of air pollution, this will help, if we want to keep the fresh air in some room, maybe bad room when we sleep.

That is a waste of time to try and sell canned air. It is a nice thought though that he is trying to get people to help the enviorment.

This actually has been in a movie before. The planet no longer had a supply of oxygen so they had air in cans.

I agree with the protecting the environment part of this but buying air? That just seems like ploy to make money. They really do need to start cleaning up the air in China and maybe if the cans of air are only temporary (until they get the environment straightened out) but if this is a permanent thing, it's probably just somebody's sick idea or a huge monopoly.

Thats weird, i knew china has problems with air pollution but i didnt know it was this severe... all that i can say is wow!

This is really weird. I dont see how this helps with the envirement because theyre still wasting cans and bottles putting this air in it. i dont even know how they can the air

I don't think it should be legal to sell canned air. It is probably the dumbest idea i have ever heard of..

I think it is a good idea to notify people that this is serious. It does seem a bit odd to breathe air from a can, but i f it helps save people then its worth it.

Is the air really that polluted that people have to buy fresh air! Kind of crazy if you ask me! But it is saving people than i guess it is worth it.

I don't see how this would help. You would think there would still be a possibility that the polluted air would get into the can, but I guess you never know until you try.
