Ep 12 - Vince Beiser - Sand, the Most Important Resource We Have
Vince Beiser is a journalist and author of the book "The World In A Grain: The Story Of Sand And How It Transformed Civilization". This is a fascinating and eye-opening book about one the most important, but often underreported on, resources in the world - sand.
I, like most people, never really thought about the importance of sand and what a pivotal role it has played in our history, our technological advancement, and in modern society. Vince's book and conversation on the podcast taught me the pivotal, and surprising, role sand plays in our everyday life.
Nowadays, with an abundance of information at our fingertips, it's not common that something stands out as so underreported. Vince has uncovered a story that was not told - and shared it with the world in a fascinating and informative way.
I had a great time chatting with Vince about the history of sand, how it came to be so important, how we need to conserve it - and, now, our need to offer alternative options.
Enjoy the podcast!
