AETHAER launched on the 1st of January 2016 to highlight the global Air Pollution problem and signify the rarity of naturally occurring clean fresh air. The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirms that over 90% of the global population breathes polluted air, but society better recognises something rare if it has a price on it.
Our first product, Jars of AETHAER, consist of a limited edition range of enviro-political artworks; a series of 580ml glass jars containing natural fresh air from the Great British countryside. After generating significant publicity and web-traffic through sales of this product, we stocked anti-pollution facemasks to protect people from the daily threat of air pollution. The proceeds from jar and mask sales have enabled us to develop and launch this current website and accompanying free App; both website and App monitor an individuals’ exposure to air pollution, and notifies them when they should protect themselves by wearing their facemask. AETHAER adopts a profit-for-purpose model in order to carry out its environmental awareness and protection activities. Read more about AETHAER by viewing our Press Kit
