  • Understanding Precarity in the Context of the Political and Criminal Economy in India
    Buried in Sand: Understanding Precarity in the Context of the Political and Criminal Economy in India Jordann Hass 6340612 Final Research Paper submitted to Dr. Melissa Marschke Final Version Abstract: As the world population grows and countries become more urbanized, the demand for sand is more prominent than ever. However, this seemingly infinite resource is being exhausted beyond its natural rate of renewal; we are running out of sand. The limited supply of sand has resulted in illicit sand trading globally, spawning gangs and mafias in a lethal black market. Through the nexus of politics, business and crime, India has demonstrated to be the most extreme manifestation of the global sand crisis. This paper will offer insight into the under-researched area of precarity surrounding the sand trade in the context of political criminality in India. By adopting an integrative approach to precarity, the analysis will review the direct and indirect impacts on livelihoods and local communities. The findings highlight how the collusive relations between the sand mafia and state authorities perpetuate a cycle of precarious labour and social-ecological conditions. To conclude, I will explore recommendations on how to address the implications of sand mining as a global community. 1.0 Introduction Sand is a fundamental component in modern society. Minuscule, and in some instances almost invisible, sand is one of the most important solid substances on earth (Beiser, 2018a). Historically, it was used as a form of verbal art that incorporated language, culture and expression through drawings. Eventually, the use of sand evolved into a material that was ‘malleable and durable, strong and fireproof,’ (Mars, 2019).

This paper assesses the environmental impact of sand extraction and the problems associated with its illegal exploitation. The analysis indicates that extracting sand at a greater rate than that at which it is naturally replenished has adverse consequences for fauna and flora. Further, illicit mining activities compound environmental damages and result in conflict, the loss of taxes/royalties, illegal work, and Citation: Leal Filho, W.; Hunt, J.; losses in the tourism industry.

  • Life Cycle Assessment of Zircon Sand
    The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment https://doi.org/10.1007/s11367-019-01619-5 LCI METHODOLOGY AND DATABASES Life cycle assessment of zircon sand Johannes Gediga1 & Andrea Morfino1 & Matthias Finkbeiner2 & Matthias Schulz3 & Keven Harlow4 Received: 24 June 2018 /Accepted: 27 March 2019 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Purpose To support the needs of downstream users of zircon sand and other industry stakeholders, the Zircon Industry Association (ZIA) conducted an industry-wide life cycle assessment (LCA) with the aim to quantify the potential environmental impacts of zircon sand production, from mining to the separation of zircon sand (zirconium silicate or ZrSiO4). This novel work presents the first, globally representative LCA dataset using primary data from industry. The study conforms to relevant ISO standards and is backed up by an independent critical review. Methods Data from ZIA member companies representing 10 sites for the reference year 2015 were collected. In total, more than 77% of global zircon sand production was covered in this study. All relevant mining routes (i.e. wet and dry mining) were considered in the investigation, as well as all major concentration and separation plants in major zircon sand–producing regions of the world (i.e. Australia, South Africa, Kenya, Senegal and the USA). As it is common practise in the metal and mining industry, mass allocations were applied with regard to by-products (Santero and Hendry, Int J Life Cycle Assess 21:1543–1553, Santero and Hendry 2016) where economic allocation is only applied if high-valued metals like PGMs are separated with a process flow.

FINDINGS Lakeside has a unique agricultural heritage, which the community wishes to perpetuate. In the urban core, large scale agricultural uses have given way to residential development. In spite of this, extensive portions of the Plan Area display significant primary and secondary agricultural uses. These areas include Eucalyptus Hills, Moreno Valley, the El Monte Road area, and Blossom Valley. Secondary agricultural uses are also common in areas within the Village Boundary Line Maintaining and enhancing these agricultural uses is essential to the basic character of the Lakeside community.
