The growth in the US bottled water market is finally slowing in the last few months. Turns out Greenland plans to tap glaciers for water and sell it to you for a premium price. Greenland soon began bottling 3,000 to 10,000 year old water that would drill a lot of icebergs. Don’t worry; the Greenland government assures everyone that it’s sustainable.
