In some places on earth, fresh air is a luxury. Whether it’s the thick smog produced by factories or the invisible pollution coming out of the exhaust pipes that suffocate cities. More and more cities are losing the fight against pollution, reports BBC, quoted by Mediafax.
An increasing number of companies are making good money from bottling clean air. It sounds like a joke, it’s just that it’s actually a profitable business, Business Magazin notes.
One such company is Edmonton, Alberta (Canada), which bottles air. A single bottle of eight liters of compressed air costs $ 24 and is enough for 160 inspirations.
Moses Lam started this business initially wanting to make jokes to his friends but found that, in fact, the demand for such products has exploded.
The markets we are targeting are the ones suffocated by pollution, where many people die prematurely due to poor air quality. Our air is simply an experience that most Indians and Chinese would not have known otherwise,” said Moses.
Moses now sells 10,000 bottles of air each month and is expected to quadruple by the end of the year.
