“For example: water. Freely flowing from springs and streams, filling up wells, falling from the sky.
Yet Americans spend more than 30 billion dollars a year for water packaged in environmentally damaging containers.

They’re selling air, also packaged in environmentally damaging containers.
For $7, the can offers ‘Up to 60 One-Second Inhalations’ infused with peppermint scent to help in ‘restoring and uplifting the body’.
At $7 a minute, a year’s supply comes to about 3.7 Million dollars!
And that’s without the Sales Tax.”
