Why Sand is the New Gold 🏖💰  

Did you know that sand is the second most consumed resource on Earth after water? 🌊  

From skyscrapers to smartphones, everything needs sand. The global construction industry alone devours 50 billion tons of sand each year! 🏗  

But here’s the twist: we’re running out of it.  
Desert sand? Too smooth.  
Beach sand? Heavily regulated.  
So, illegal sand mining cartels are emerging worldwide, fueling a $70 billion black market. 🌆  

Some even call it the "sand mafia." 😱  

Crazy how something so ordinary is shaping the world's economy, right?
