Running out of sand? It sounds crazy, but this invisible crisis threatens modern civilization as we know it. Join me as I explore why sand is so important for us, why this seemingly abundant resource is disappearing, and how "sand mafias" are literally killing over it. We'll dive into the consequences—from skyrocketing housing costs to vanishing beaches—and explore innovative solutions that might just save us, from recycled glass concrete to 3D-printed buildings and even space mining. The foundation of our modern world is literally slipping through our fingers. Will we solve this problem before it's too late?
