one Canadian banker has lucked into a potentially lucrative career as the co-founder of a new company literally selling bottles of air to smog-ridden China. Now, what started as a joke prophesied in the 28-year-old sci-fi comedy is a viable, booming business.
Vitality Air's Moses Lam says he sold his first bag of air as a joke with co-founder Troy Paquette on Ebay. It sold for "less than 50 pence." The next bag, however, sold for £105, or $160.
"That's when we realised there is a market for this," Lam said.
Founded only last year in Edmonton, the Canadian start-up company now markets "fresh air from the Rocky Mountains," and China is scrambling for the luxury of even one short, clean breath of air ever since the company began shipping there a mere two months ago.

Some cities are much worse than others Renee..
I don't know how much good breathing a bag of air for a few minutes a day will do..
I believe they were on Dragon's Den which is our version of Shark Tank.

If you have been breathing that noxious gas that some Chinese people call air for years, then breathing a bag of clean air isn't going to do any good.
As I see it, it's a novelty item much like the pet rock. :laugh:
I know that some cities and areas are much worse than others; it's the same here. But I can't help but think that "the greatest civilization in history" :laugh: is going to pollute themselves out of existence simply because they don't give a fuck.

That's exactly how I feel about it too Renee..
The Chinese economy is slowing quickly, there are much better ways for them to take care of their health than this waste of money..
One suggestion is to quit smoking; China has a lot of men who smoke.

This thing is about as effective an agent of environmental change as a cap and trade. :negative:
