Space I Inhabit: Three Walks
18 October 2019
Went for a midweek walk but the roads and paths were clear. However, I found 16 on the following
day and then another 4 the morning after.
A few facts:
"On one Saturday night in July alone, more than 1,200 discarded chargers were picked up outside pubs
and clubs in Shoreditch, east London, by council workers. [...] Celebrity users are said to have included
Britain's Prince Harry, who indulged at a fancy dress party in 2010, and American actress Demi Moore,
who was reportedly hospitalised after a nitrous oxide binge in her Los Angeles home that followed her
split from husband Ashton Kutcher, in 2012." (Parry, 2014)
Mosa of Taiwan are the leading worldwide distributors of canisters. They produce around 500,000
nitrous oxide canisters a day. (Parry, 2014).
However, laughing gas is not new as can be seen in the print below - satirical print from 1830 showing
a Royal Institution lecture on pneumatics with Humphry Davy administering a dose of Laughing Gas to
a woman whilst Count Rumford looks on. (Anon.2011)
