The sky is falling!

Not really, but WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF SAND!!

So says the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research.

Using all that sand “is a hidden ecological disaster,” says Dr. Aurora Torres, of the GCIBR.

Other than researchers of sand, no one else knows of the pending super-disaster because “we don’t want to know what goes on in building a house,” avers Kiran Pereira, of sandstories.org.

So, humans need to build fewer houses, highways, buildings, airports and anything else that uses concrete.

One way to cut down on sand in concrete is to use plastic, says Dr. Richard Ball of Bath University. Using plastic in concrete will also lessen the amount of plastic sent to landfills, Ball says.

Just a guess, but it is extremely likely that those who want to use plastic in concrete manufacture also want to limit or end petroleum production.
