Mineral sand mining is experiencing a boom at the moment. If one thinks of some of the practical and artistic glass objects and monuments, then one can forgive some sand mining but the deserts are full of it; why not leave the beach sand alone or is it the purity which is sought?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-57874373212352067062007-07-13T04:31:00.000+10:002007-07-13T04:31:00.000+10:00Sand is worked in Brittany too, into the sea, with...Sand is worked in Brittany too, into the sea, with many repercussions on the shore...<BR/>Thank you, Sally, for your visits to ArradonDP.

I would never have thought that sand dunes would be mined for money like whales are slaughtered for cash or forests are felled or lots of other things are taken out of the world and never replaced. It seems like stealing to me but those in charge in 3-piece business suits say otherwise.<BR/><BR/>My wife, Patty, and I have been married for 52 years today.
