Canadian fresh air in China |
As China`s pollution problems continue, a Canadian company has cashed in on the crisis by selling bottles of fresh mountain air to people for up to $28 (£18.50) each.Beijing was issued its first ever red alert in December over its hazardous pollution levels, causing the capital to shut down schools and construction for a period of time, while attempting to take a percentage of the city`s cars off the road and telling people to stay indoors. Since then Shanghai has seen its own smog problem hit its highest level from January, with schools being prompted to ban outdoor activities and factory work curbed .But sales of Vitality Air - bottles fresh mountain air from Banff and Lake Louise, Canada - have soared in China. A single bottle of the company`s "premium oxygen" costs $27.99 ($18.50) while a bottle of its Banff air costs up to $23.99 ($15.85).
