Assuming you were not under a coconut shell for
the past weeks, you would have read that China has been combating the
problem of smog for a fair number of years already, and the latest
occurrences have prompted more calls for something concrete to be done

fiction at times, we have a real life “Aloysius O’Hare” (of The Lorax
movie fame) in the form of entrepreneur Chen Guangbiao who has begun to
sell canned air. Of course, I am quite sure that rich as he is, the
whole idea of selling canned air at 5 yuan each is not to make more
money to add to his $740 million fortune, but rather, to stress on a
point concerning the toll on the environment.
