CNN)An idea dreamed up out of thin air appears to be earning one businessman some serious money.
British entrepreneur Leo De Watts, 27, has made thousands of dollars selling bottles of British country air to Chinese buyers, but the price alone – £80 ($115) per bottle – could knock the wind out of many customers.
De Watts says the 580 ml (about 20 oz) glass jars have been flying out the door, many headed for pollution-plagued Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
Since launching late last year, his air farming company Aethaer has sold hundreds of containers of clean breeze from windswept locations across Britain – including Dorset, Somerset, and Wales.
Setting off with a car full of empty jars at 5 a.m., the team “harvests” air in large nets and seals it in the glass jars before shipping it across the world.
“Quite often a lot of our orders are bespoke – we have clients who request very particular circumstances for their air,” De Watts explains in a video on the company’s website.
"Sometimes we’ll be at the top of a mountain, other times the bottom of a valley. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/08/world/fresh-air-britain-china-bottles/
Kuna wale slum tourists huja kutembelea slums hapa 254. If you were to bottle air from those slum areas, i’m sure they would willingly buy it and make you a mbirrionea…in 254 shillings!
