Sand Stories: An upcoming publication on the sand crisis

By Binayak Das / 03/23/2018

We have unwittingly built ourselves a society that is highly dependent on the consumption of sand in order to maintain a high standard of living. As a result, we now also face the potential paradox of a ‘scarce’ symbol of abundance. There is a great need to break down information barriers and initiate cross-disciplinary cooperation so that we can find solutions (Sand Stories).

Kiran Pereira is the Founder and Chief Storyteller of Sand Stories, a platform dedicated to creating awareness about the little known global environmental crisis of sand mining. The vision of the organization is to bring together stakeholders to find and promote solutions. Kiran is also the author of a forthcoming book of the same name.
