Correct! Not that much https://surprise.blackblogs.org/en/2020/07/07/7-correct-not-that-much/ Tue, 07 Jul 2020 11:26:09 +0000 http://surprise.blackblogs.org/?p=188 Let’s be honest: sand is becoming scarce because it is needed for the production of cement. The manufacture of cement accounts for 8 percent of global CO2 emissions. A lot of cement is needed for a high-rise building. According to the European Cement Association, at least half a metric ton of CO2 is generated in the production of one ton of cement. Entire beaches are being demolished and seas dredged all over the world for construction projects and artificial islands. Sand from entire stretches of coast is being robbed in Indonesia. For example, in the bay near Palu on the island of Sulawesi. 2.8 billion metric tons of cement are produced worldwide every year – and this is accompanied by massive environmental damage. But every progress demands resources and experimentation. However, we keep on hoping that in the future our Artificial Intelligence will find solutions to save the destroyed earth, and maybe even mankind!
