I wonder if we could come up with some sort of fast growing plant that we could then use as a replacement for sand as a filler. This would reduce the sand crisis and capture carbon, if it's possible.

There is a sand crisis too?

Is it the one caused by dams?

Between 2011 and 2015 China poured more concrete than the US did in the entire 20th century.

Sand is one component of most concrete.
