Globally, 50bn tonnes of sand and gravel are used every year – the equivalent of a wall 27 metres high and 27 metres wide stretching round the equator. It is the key ingredient of #concrete and #asphalt.

#InstitutionalFailure: globally, #carcrashes are a major cause of #death, killing more #people than #homicides and #suicides combined. #Cars killed 43,000 Americans in 2021, a number that has increased by nearly a third in the last decade while our peer countries have decreased their #carfatalities.
