Brilio.net/en - Increasingly poor air quality in China begins to make the country to buy bottles of fresh air from Canada.
A Canadian company starts producing and selling fresh air in a bottle taken from the Banff National Park in the Rocky Mountains, Canada.
They began targeting sales in China due to the rising pollution levels occured in the country and it turned out that the demand is quite high.
Our first shipment of 500 bottles of fresh air were sold in four days, said co-founder Moses Lam in a telephone interview with Telegraph.
A crate containing 4,000 bottles sold in China and the response is terrific.
A 7.7 Litre bottle of fresh air is sold around 100 yuan ($10) or 50 times higher than the price of mineral water in China.
Most of their customers live in a big cities in the northeastern and southern parts of China where the air pollution is quite extreme there.
