20.Many Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city's smoggy air,especially when it reaches critical pollution levels,but one local businessman decided that canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea.Believe it or not,he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France,Canada or Australia and selling it in China,Dominic Johnson-Hill,a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8(创可贴8)souvenir shop,decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.
"I'd seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia,so I thought it was time to push business the other way,"the businessman said."They're perfect gifts!What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing?A roast duck?A Plastered T-shirt?These cans are light,easily carried home.You can just imagine someone's face when they unwrap it for Christmas."
The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of famous city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents:"a unique mix of nitrogen(氮气),oxygen and probably some unknown stuff".The ironic(讽刺的) souvenirs cost 28 RMB(US$4)and are available at the Plastered 8 shop,as well as in its online shop.But if you're actually considering buying some,you'd better ask the shop in advance,as they are always flying off the shelves.Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.
Personally,the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions.Yet one thing that's not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing,because the cans are labeled as"Made in Shenzhen".There's a big chance that it is just a kind of"Plastered 8 humor",as they also list"Choking Risk"and"May have unidentified objects inside"as warnings.
Anyway,it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.
