If anyone is curious about sand production there is a glass recycling initiative in New Orleans that recycles glass into many types of sand for their community. It's called Glass Half Full NOLA.

A lot of this can’t be fully recycled in the way you’re thinking. Let’s make an example: the sand used for clothing will be recycled for other clothes, but that redistribution won’t be sent to other areas, like concrete or computer chips. And then vis versa with all the other industries and applications of sand. It won’t be seen or felt for clothing. It’s kinda futile to recycle sand really, the best bet is to get rid of our dependency entirely. For instance, there’s lots of awareness to recycle glass bottles into new glass bottles. So people will be actively doing that instead of this particular initiative to redistribute it for other things.

@certifiedyaminspector-dadd6224 28 күн бұрын

@zilentis1835 yes but actual beach sand is nothing more than eroded rock. It can be reproduced by crushing and grinding stones. That's why companies that advertise "beach sand for sale," usually put tags like "all natural" or "non crushed" to distinguish the difference. The point being, there is, nor will there ever be a shortage of beach sand so long as rocks exist which is always. The video made it seem as if the earth was running out of sand which isn't accurate at all.

@Skittenmeow Жыл бұрын

In Western Australia I swear a lot of areas with sand have beach "construction" ie pathways and "beach restoration" as an excuse to remove ridiculous amounts of our amazing white beach sand. The beaches are continuously disappearing, it's depressing. My cousin had a undeveloped property bordering the beach in southern Western Australia and over a period of 3 years the whole beach disappeared right up to the treeline. He set up motion cameras and caught footage of trucks being loaded with all the sand. He contacted council and was told it was authorised, despite nothing on record regarding development of public land. Local council obviously in on it, but the bribe money isn't going towards government funds but into politicians pockets.

I do have a few gripes with the video (not that they matter since I’m the one sitting on my ass listening to your teams work, and I don’t make videos) but I think the extremely high production values make up for just about any issue I had. Keep at it! If you keep developing this style and honing your craft, you can definitely be among the best creators on the platform, and I don’t say that lightly

MMA fighter Francis Ngannu was born and raised in Cameroon and at an early age began working in the sand mines, shoveling sand. Essentially shoveling away at these huge towers of sand. When he became a young man and that job being one of very few he decided to try his luck elsewhere in the world and traveled to France where he was homeless, eventually acquainting himself with a boxing gym owner where he began to train and eventually stay in, then switching his new talent from boxing to mma and eventually getting into the largest organization and most notable, the UFC, becoming champion of the heavyweight division after only 4 years of knowing the sport existed. There are photos of him working the in the sand and his story is one of great inspiration, regardless if you are a fan on mixed martial arts.
