Oh no. For some reason I thought we were manufacturing the sand used in construction and stuff. At what point do we stop stealing it and start making it? Is that actually any better?
Yes, sand in the desert and beaches is “too old”, in other words, it’s too smooth and can’t hold material together. That’s why Dubai is importing huge amounts of sand while being literally a city in the desert.
On a more serious note, they can find cement from smashed buildings. Destroying old rundown hotels to develop something else. Cool, some one wanna buy those debris and put them to some good use.
The world is running out of sand.
It’s one of the most used materials in the world for construction but islands are disappearing because of its limited supply.

Isn’t one of the issues that the sand in the deserts isn’t the right kind?

Dubai needs to stop it.
So all we need to do to increase our supply is to rough up some sand?
Some companies came up with an alternative by grounding cement blocks into cement sand instead.

But we can make sand so you don’t have to worry about that part
