Bottled Air

You wake up in the woods, you get a clear, refreshing, crisp air. You wake up in the city, you'll get a lung cancer for free. Living in the urban, you get to see and smell various aromatic toxic wastes and pollutions starting from cigarette smokes, to burning wastes, to fly-infested garbage scattered all around the corners, to clogged drainage and to the ever famous car fumes. Mm-hmm. Well, this might only be the case in the third world countries but as a whole, the world is still suffering and slowly deteriorating.
How long would it be till we start inhaling air from tubes and tanks? And how long would it take for the CO2s and the NO2s to completely dominate the pure O2s? Before we know it, we might be buying bottled airs! Imagine that?! Stores hanging signs that read: "Air for Sale". How much would that cost? 1000? 2000? or 3000? just for a bottle? And what kind of unit should we use? Would it also be like psi? bars? or CFM? We certainly cannot use liters or ounce now, can we? How much time is still left for the air to remain breathable? We can't know for sure. Little by little, what once was a God-given blessing is now turning into something profitable for businesses. What would it be like years from now. Would everything literally have it's price? Every breathe we take might cost us our life's savings, may it be money or health.
I really do pray and hope that one day people would all unite and save our Earth. May it start from small deeds like using unleaded gasoline and changing car oils more frequently to bigger deeds like joining a cleanup of soot pollution. If we could all contribute in our own ways, I strongly believe that we could all live in a more healthier and less hazardous place. Planting a tree could go a long way.
