Sand is crust up fine minerals. We can make it easily out of plastic since plastic starts off with oil and oil can be turned back into the minerals. It does take a lot of energy. Its not that we will run ouy its really due to poor developent in thease places cause the people to make resources scarce. If we educate people to understand why we shouldnt do thease things and give them the financial stability through makeing bissneses that ate nessesary and limit the growth (aka) repopulation speeds. This wouldnt be a problem. I wont be surprised if in the future they will force men to be nutured in the future. To forcefully limit population. To limit the events like this.

In the US, they don’t call it bribery and they don’t bother the local folks, the money is to be made by getting government permission. They call it “lobbying”, bribery of officials and the highest levels where the laws are made.
