      If we stop to think about it, the truth can be revealed to us. All building materials, concrete, bricks, and glass are made from sand. The exponentially increasing human population and the rapidly growing construction sector have made sand the most sought-after natural resource on Earth, next to water. Billions of tons of sand are used around the world every day.
