Cannable Air

Air pollution is a very big problem that has been plague millions of countries such as China, India, U.S, Mongolia and many more. Air pollution is caused by many different factors. Car exhausts are a prime factor. Mongolia is severely polluted because of its coal burning power plants. Electricity also creates an enormous amount. And the worst of the worst, factories. Plastic bottle factories are the probably the most dangerous.

Annually, around 1.3 million deaths worldwide are due to Air Pollution. Maybe even more. That is a enormous amount of deaths because of us. Our faults and needs are causing people to die. Its time to take a act.

This is exactly what Chen Guangbiao, a chinese philanthropist and business man did. He created cannable air. What happens is that the air is taken from high altitude mountains and canned. The cans are designed to automatically close shut the compressed air. Scientifically what happens is that "each can contains a chip so that during the packaging process when the negative oxygen ions reach a certain concentration level and the can is full, it seals automatically." This is just one act of his that has inspired people to act up. He has done many pulic stunts. He is known for his extremes. He recently smashed battery powered scooters with a sledge hammer. The cans are for 'drinking' but really the point behind them is to acknowledge people about a major problem. 

We should all take act like he is. Or you never know we will be 'drinking' canned air daily.
