Inglês vende ar para a China

O empresário Leo De Watts, de 27 anos, vende ar coletado no interior do Reino Unido e despacha para cidades poluídas da China, como Xangai e Pequim, onde elites pagam quantias consideráveis por poucos segundos de inalação. A China enfrenta problemas crônicos de poluição atmosférica. Em 2015, pela primeira vez na história, a capital do país, Pequim, declarou alerta vermelho o mais grave em uma escala de quatro níveis por causa da poluição.

Nessas ocasiões, escolas permanecem fechadas e fábricas interrompem a produção. Há também restrições à circulação de carros e a obras ao ar livre.

“Qualquer pessoa que, por exemplo, viva perto de um lago cristalino e comece a engarrafar água e vender pode ser considerada meio maluca por seus amigos, mas é algo incrível para locais que não possuem uma grande oferta dessas coisas, e pode ser vendido com item de luxo”, disse Watts à BBC.

A China é considerada o maior poluidor do mundo, emitindo 10,5 milhões de quilotoneladas de gás carbônico por ano, segundo a Agência de Avaliação Ambiental da Holanda. No mesmo ranking, o Brasil apareceu em 10º lugar.

Cada garrafa – de 580 ml – de ar exportada por Watts custa 80 libras (cerca de R$ 450).

Para oferecer produtos com características distintas, o empresário diz coletar ar de áreas diferentes, como o interior do País de Gales e as regiões de Dorset e Somerset, na Inglaterra.

O processo de coleta é feito com jarros acoplados a redes – atividade que Watts define como “agricultura aérea”.

“O ar fresco é filtrado organicamente pela natureza. Flui entre folhas de árvores e absorve água cristalina ao passar sobre florestas, e é acariciado gentilmente ao percorrer formações de rocha mineral e paisagens de beleza intocada onde é coletado e engarrafado”, descreve o site da empresa.

O site local Dorset Echo informou que Watts já vendeu mais de 180 garrafas desde a criação do negócio, há poucas semanas.

A empresa também oferece um pacote “especial do Ano Novo Chinês”, com 15 garrafas por 888 libras – cerca de R$ 5 mil.

  5. Mar 14, 2023Mar 14, 2023 Coinbase, a prominent United States cryptocurrency exchange, has recently witnessed an upswing in its COIN share prices. This surge comes on the heels of the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, choosing Coinbase as a surveillance partner for its re-filed Bitcoin ETF application. The S&P 500, Wall Street’s broad benchmark for many stock funds, was on pace Thursday afternoon for a 20 percent loss through the end of June after starting the year at an all-time high. It’s the worst start to a year for stocks in decades. SQ – The prospects of blockchain companies are closely related to the cryptocurrency market. Given the high risk and uncertainty surrounding the crypto space, it could be wise to avoid fundamentally weak blockchain stocks Block (SQ), Riot Platforms (RIOT), and HIVE Blockchain (HIVE).

    Despite these risks, the reason to use second-layer protocols is clear. With relatively small payments or transfers, from a cup of coffee to a weekly salary check, the direct settlement fee on a blockchain today may well exceed the value of the item being sold or the payment being made. With the second-layer protocols, however, transaction fees tend to be much smaller, and transactions settle faster. We anticipate there will likely continue to be innovation in both the scaling and fee economics of blockchains. That may well drive competition with traditional payment systems. Watch this space. The critical difference between Bitcoin and fiat money is that while both exist in digital form, Bitcoin is programmed money–which means it is self-verifying using computer code, whereas fiat money has to be verified by banks to ensure its authenticity, as it’s nothing more than just numbers on a screen. Think about Bitcoin like a self-driving car, whereas fiat money has to be manually “driven.”
