Journal Question 12

 

This is a picture of Chen Guanbiao, a Chinese businessman, who is giving out cans of fresh air to people in Beijing.  Lately, the smog (air pollution) has been so bad that the government has told people to stay inside and asked factories to operate fewer hours in attempt to make the air cleaner.  Do you live in a city with bad air pollution?   What should be done, in your opinion, to make the air cleaner?  What about canned air - is it a silly idea or a necessary product?
