The Sand Wars: Uncovering the Disappearance of a Vital Resource | SLICE EARTH | FULL DOC

Sand has become one of the big economic and environmental stakes of this century. Most of us think of it as a complimentary ingredient of any beach vacation. Yet those seemingly insignificant grains of silica surround our daily lives. Every house, skyscraper and glass building, every bridge, airport and sidewalk in our modern society depends on sand. We use it to manufacture optical fibre, cell phone components and computer chips. We find it in our toothpaste, powdered foods and even in our glass of wine. Sand is the world’s most exploited mineral resource. But earth’s supply of this resource is under threat. Can the existing supply satisfy a gigantic demand fueled by construction booms? What are the consequences of intensive sand mining for the environment and the neighbouring populations ? This investigation takes us around the globe to unveil a new gold rush and a disturbing fact: the Sand Wars have begun.
