答案在风中飘荡 (Blowin’ in the Wind)

Or maybe not. A Chinese government-backed study, published last month in the journal Global Change Biology, tracked the growth rates of six aspen trees in 北京 (Běijīng) between 2012 and 2015, when the city was shrouded in one of its densest ozone fogs. The scientists’s conclusions are astonishing: 北京 (Běijīng)’s air pollution helps its trees grow better, faster, and stronger.

北京 (Běijīng)-based artist 王智远 (Wáng Zhìyuǎn) created a 36 foot tall towering tornado sculpture – called “Thrown to the Wind” – from hundreds of plastic containers discarded as trash. Photo: inhabitat.com.
