At a Meringue food cart in New York city, you can taste the fluffy dessert, which is 90% air, made from urban smog. This exhibition has its origins in Bangalore where a few college students made desserts from urban air to highlight the issue of air pollution.

If you commute to work in a two-wheeler in Bangalore, you will have experienced the issue of air pollution first-hand. Yet, nobody really does anything about it. How does what you (as one person) do make any difference, right? That is the tragedy of commons.
