Strange Waters: Ice Rocks
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto

We never cease to be amazed at the silliness and extravagance of the bottled water industry. We have shown Tasmanian ice cubes before, but for those desiring a smaller carbon footprint, you can now get your prepackaged ice cubes "made from spring water drawn from the Vendée Region of France in the Massif Central." At $5.24 for 48 "glorious cubes, ready to be frozen, are hermetically packaged in disposable, recyclable containers, providing complete guarantee of hygiene and safety." it works out to $26.46 per gallon of water, a new TreeHugger record, but considered "A great step forward in the integration of fine water products at a price that everyone can afford."
