To combat China's worsening air quality problem, two sisters have come up with an unusual business plan: selling fresh air. The two women from Xining, China, have launched an online business startup selling fresh air from the Tibetan Plateau, reports the
Shanghaiist.
They have even made a video promoting their venture, and it shows them collecting air in plastic bags.
The bags cost 15 yuan, and the sisters claim they have already sold over a hundred bags.
They claim to have sold over a hundred bags of air already.

Weibo, many have criticized the scheme for using plastic bags that are non-recyclable and damage the environment further.
