A United Kingdom-based company created controversy online by selling glass bottles of fresh air from the coast for $105 each.
It was reported that the company named Coast Capture Air was initially targeting sales to those interested in making it a souvenir besides raising awareness on the importance of clean air.
However, the demand received increased to attract the attention of many individuals, especially from contaminated areas who are willing to buy it to get daily freshness.
Coast Capture Air in a statement informed its staff to work hard to ensure they supply only the best beach air bottles in all of Cornwall.
“Each Coast Capture Air signature glass bottle holds fresh coastal air in its purest form, direct from the natural and unspoiled coastlines of Great Britain,” said Coast Capture Air on their website.
“Our select Air capturing locations are typically rural, unpolluted by man or machinery, and often remote and hard to reach. Such idylls are rare. Our Collections are therefore of precious and exceptional quality. Bottled at source: Hartland Point, Cornish Coast, Great Britain.
“We travel the length and breadth of Great Britain. We visit remote locations of outstanding natural beauty. From here we capture only the cleanest air,” Coast Capture Air claims.
“Many factors set us apart from similar companies. We monitor and measure every single bottle we capture. We use highly sensitive equipment to ensure the purity of each bottle. Our captures are therefore both unique and of the very highest quality,” the company added.
