-
- Documentary
Today's sand mining is a climate threat. Yes it is.
For many of us, when we think of sand …we picture walking on a beach…some others might say an hourglass…
but little do we realize that amidst the chaos of climate change …SAND is literally slipping through our eco-system with a big invitation for a future catastrophe.
If what I just said sounds unbelievable to you, no problem at all, our guest for today Kiran Pereira is going to share a rare sand story with all of us. Kiran is the Founder & Chief Storyteller at SandStories.org.
SandStories works to create awareness about the urgent need to manage our consumption of sand as a resource. They aim to bridge the gap between science, policy and industry by identifying and promoting potential solutions to the looming sand crisis.
Our conversation has been split into 3 parts. Part 1 ..i.e today’s episode will focus on problems and impacts of sand mining on our lives and the ecosystem.
Part 2 will focus on sustainable, circular solutions to today’s unsustainable sand industry
Part 3 will focus on action points for making this planet a better place.
Notes:
Sand is a non-renewable resource in human timescales
Humankind has built 850,000 dams around the world that are blocking sand’s natural course of path
Today humans have become a geo-morphological force …trying hard to compete with nature
Sand and gravel are the most extracted solid substances on earth.
