Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Commuters breathing from a portable oxygen canister might be a fairly normal sight in over-populated and over-polluted Tokyo. Worryingly, sightings of these pure air puffers are on the increase in London.
Now available is O Pur (geddit?). This streamline, Sapporo-esque can of bottled air is aimed at the environmentally distressed urban dweller. The content of the can is 99 per cent oxygen, and is sold as 'a source of energy for active lifestyles'. It also, supposedly, 'improves concentration' and 'decreases performance slumps'. Yeah - and when the can's empty it turns into a pizza.
O Pur pounds 9.99 a can. Call 071-493 0303 for stockists.
