We bought the house about 2 years ago hoping that we would be able to retire here but from here you could see how much sand. Underneath the house. The world is running out of sand consumed by industry and construction stolen and transported by criminal mafias around the world. But we dont. Have a deal like that. Washed away by rising sea levels. In the middle of the indian ocean for the last 5000 units become. Lost to human greed and stupidity. When we use that when we lose. Weve never needed so much sand so badly with beaches and entire already disappearing who will win the sand. For most of us san makes us think of days at the beach sand castles and sunshine and once the holidays are over we slip back into our busy lives. But is feeling the sand between our toes or caught in our bathing suits the whole story. Does this so familiar substance play any other role in our daily lives. Standard is what i like to call the Unsung Heroes of law its because there are just endless examples. Of the way in which sarah and intersects with daily lloyds which we all really. Commonly aware of. Sand has quietly infiltrated every corner of our world melted and transformed into glass it sits on every shelf. Its also the source of silicone dioxide. A mineral found in our wines cleaning products detergents paper dehydrated foods hairspray toothpaste cosmetics. And an astounding variety of other products we use every day. But its a strategic mended such as. You. Think about your computer. You know and it can be manufactured if you do not have high quality said. The minerals extracted from sand are at the core of our hyperconnected society they form a basic material for microchips without which our computers Credit Cards Bank machines cell phones and many other devices would not exist. Sand even alps or supply in our airplanes the plastics lightweight alloys of the fuselage and jet engines even the paint and tires are all made with sand. Its almost become like a they dont think too much about it but you cant live without it. And the industry with the biggest appetite for sand. Construction for the last 150 years sand mixed with cement to form concrete has shaped the contours of our increasingly urbanized world. Because of its low cost strength and ease of use disgrace larry has become the dominant Building Material around the globe. The quantities used are astronomical. To build an average house it takes 200. 00 tons of sand. For a larger building like a hospital around 3000 tons. Each kilometer of highway devours 30000 tons. And to build a Nuclear Plant the estimate is about 12000000. 00 tons. Of production of sand exceeds dean 1000000000 tons. And that is a quantity that is so huge that its beyond imagination how much is 15000000000 you dont know because no other resource is used in such vast quantities as sad maybe with the exception of water. So where in the world does that much sand come from. Lets just say the sand men who work in the aggregate business have not been affected by the economic downturn. Behind air and water sand is the most used commodity in the world. Business is booming but meeting this demand is not always an easy task sand is not something thats easily found like you might think it is used to be that youd have a sand and gravel deposit and youd simply go and dig it up out of the ground so youd have sand to make your roads bridges and buildings up but that type material is all been taken away its gone abuse it already. With the process of service and exhausted we started dredging rivers for sand but this is lead to flooding. Now weve turned to the oceans for sand. To satisfy our seemingly insatiable appetite for sand weve industrialized extracting it from beneath the waves. And the workhorse of the industry is a dredger. A giant tanker equipped with a suction arm capable of pumping huge quantities of sand to the surface. The right bessel in the right location can pump up 2400000 cubic metres of sand to the surface every single day. Each dredger cost anywhere from 25000000. 00 to 200000000. 00. But the sand is free. So the thousands of tankers combing the worlds oceans at every incentive to suck up as much sand as possible for their increasingly hungry clients. An astonishing example of this appetite within a few decades this fishing village has morphed into a mecca of modern architecture is a sandbox for developers were no fantasies too grandiose. But projects. Of sand using huge volumes of sand and Construction Projects concrete and indeed just making more land as has been doing with the with the artificially constructed islands. As landfills or even bigger consumers of sand than concrete. With a booming economy the emirate launched them bitches expansion project. After the year 2000 with the price of real estate soaring as a result of speculation Developers Bet that it would be cheaper to make land than to buy it. The selfproclaimed 8th wonder of the world cost over 12000000000. 00 and devoured more than 150000000. 00 tons of sand dredged from the coastline. With the giant palm still under construction flying high in the seemingly Endless Supply of money and sand embarked on an even more extravagant project the world. The world is an island paradise where unprecedented opportunity can be found it is almost as resort official archipelago of 300. 00 islands designed as a map of the world absorbed 14000000000. 00 and 3. 00 times as much sand as the palm. The. Place magination. Today the world is a mirage the work site has been abandoned since the onset of the finance. Crisis in 2008. Deserted island is now parked in the sun awaiting the uncertain day when millionaire buyers will again descend on to buy and restore its glory. To kill the Corporation Managing the palm in the world the crisis is more than financial overdevelopment is totally liquidated by his natural Sand Resources and you think youll find. That theres a theyve got older style and they need like all the gulf states dubai has sand everywhere so why doesnt the emirates simply help itself to the desert. Desert sand is the wrong color end of sand for building a lot of fishel islands why because desert and all the grains have been blown around by the wind is typically very round and very smooth if you want to use it to build an island they dont stick together you need sand that that is more angular rougher rougher age say that naturally sticks together. See sand is perfect for island building and construction but its in limited supply sand is not a sustainable resource. Although its own stocks are exhausted dubai is far from given up. The burj khalifa at the time of construction the worlds tallest building was built with sand from half a world away. We have a saying in english which is selling sand to the arabs which is obviously a joke. That thats actually come true in the case of the by. 3500. 00 Australian Companies exports into the Arabian Peninsula their profits of tripled in 20 years accounting for a 5000000000. 00 jackpot. And australia is just one small part of a global trend that reliant on importing sand from other areas you see is this huge trade around the world moving from one another for different purposes such construction land reclamation. Singapore is another city at the heart of the sand wars. In 30 years the country known as the switzerland of beijing has become one of the richest in the region during this time the population has more than doubled and the 63 islands that make up this city state are bursting at the seams singapore its were lying on the import. For its very existence in the land mass is literally increased 20 percent over the last 40 is and thats largely been reckon nation so literally pouring sound into the sea to create new land. Singapore is already transformed 130 square kilometers of water into land and is planning to add another 100 square kilometers by 2030. Having devoured all its own reserves its for ratios appetite is targeted at its neighbor supplies. One after another cambodia. Malaysia and indonesia have each decided to ban trade with singapore but its addiction to sand is not easy to restrain. Singapore is being accused of expanding its coast and illegally dredged satins from neighboring states. Suspicions of sand trafficking hang over singapore and the dozens of barges filled to the brim which imo daily and its important prove that the city state has found an alternative source but where does the saying come from. Tommy guns fear. Guns. Youre going to hear very every day every week. This is what is driving the visual so down on what you. See in. Your individual. To the. North Korean Television nobody years ago. Thanks to local traffic and Networks Singapore and dealers with false identities working for fictional Companies Continue to find supplies of sand in neighboring countries. But the other guy. But in the same system. Which i think is it just it was the business of great state but this is this case. Thank you for. The law with the tacit support of the government there most loyal client. The son trade in singapore is that he usually have a political as the mass of the backcrosses far as were concerned its just a is bill the south as you know leader in the region particularly with the last global sun thats but that companies will brain imports of that country and should be its Human Rights Violations environmental degradation and damage the livelihoods of local people. The effects of underwater dredging are far from benign. Much of the ocean floors rocky are covered with only a thin layer of sand. Built up over tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. As you dredge up a set. Of course all of the the any walls and plans that are on the sea floor they will all be dredged up as well and therefore whatever Living Communities are they will just be. Sand is the primary link in the underwater food chain remove it and the survival of all species from the smallest to the largest is threatened. Like many archipelagos many of indonesias islands are literally made of sand and intense dredging has triggered a series of chain reactions. 92 percent in the nations fiscal challenges come from tension of the city because of mining activity is when this coral reef we lost fish. Livelihood. We lose everything loss of fish habitat directly endangers the survival of thousands of indonesian families but thats only the 1st of sand dredging to adverse effects. If you have an oil made of sand its only there because of conspiracy of natural processes wind waves water currents time of year and so if you start removing that. Then youve upset the balance of the conspiracy and waves and currents will learn start to move the rest of the set. After the extraction of sand a combination of waves currents and gravity slowly fill in the back you. So the removal of underwater sand can have a very noticeable effect on nearby beaches and islands. And so by a combination of the match will prove this is and human excavation the island literally disappear. One of the most stunning and packs of the trade was the disappearance of some of the islands off the coast of indonesia which have literally vanished when we use that sand. Once an island disappears the International Maritime boundary changes all is required to these become geopolitical issues as well as simply commercial and resource issues. 25 indonesian islands have already disappeared. Like coal and gas sand is now on the frontline of the worlds hunger for raw materials. Scarcity and dangers local communities and sets governments against each other. As demand builds the circle only becomes more vicious. Moroccos gentle climate has been welcoming tourists for years. But its famous beaches have also been attracting some strange 4 legged visitors a constant stream of men and donkeys descend on the beaches 7 days a week. In search of. Sand. For men and the donkeys have taken so much sand that some beaches now look like the surface of the moon. Rock has been experiencing a construction boom spurred on by a competitive real estate market. The builders are happy but they need plenty of sand legal and otherwise. That. I wrote that i have i dont want to give you. Are you going to bet i ended up going to not wonder how you could have been acquitted oh well coming up to no no no no my love my double got nothing. But not by me i got them help oh yeah. Look i do one thing yes i did was really i do what you guys really do with their day but they didnt come but you mad youre not going out youre right not them have them come we dont look good im not good at your creativity oh i like them i like that lap its estimated that 40 to 45 percent of the sand used in construction in morocco has been stolen mostly from its beaches. Loaded onto trucks the sand is sold directly to unscrupulous developers but thats not where the problem ends. Without proper treatment salty beach sand mixed with cement is highly corrosive make americas New Buildings ticking time bombs in danger of collapse. Ironically the beach is meant to lure the tourists are being stripped bare to build hotels and condos that may turn out to be death traps. In the maybe enjoy. The position of being the Financial Capital of the country andrea also have a huge housing Boom Construction boom thats because of the influx of so many new people into the city. With the Indian Economy booming construction has to keep pace and like in so many other battlegrounds of the sand wars easy profits lead to corrupt practices. The value of sand is such that its a commercial commodity that is smuggled i mean the its a big business is smuggling the fam. Sand mafia is the most powerful criminal organization in india. A lot of the people in the whole. Who control of the sun mafia oh so control and a lot of the construction the Construction Materials businesses in bombay as well as the constructions themselves in addition to that they also control the administration through their political contacts so that just completes the whole value chain right from the extraction to construction the the profits in each bottle fit the administration and the police. Under the eyes of corrupt authorities the sand arts ply their trade in broad daylight and more than 8000. 00 drugs inside scattered across the coasts and river banks of the subcontinent. For the mafias beaches are easy prey because the sand is literally within arms reach so they had even the most popular tourist sites the places where you expect to stretch out on the beach and worship the sun. The tentacles of the mafias however are just adding to the pressures facing the world speeches. Just 2 years ago there was a row of hous
