What if each person living near the sahara desert took away a bucket of sand?
>>
thats already happening with the dumb capitalist glass companies

this is why we need bernism
>>
I feel like we'd barely notice a difference imo

Maybe something larger than a bucket perhaps

what if they started watering the edges of it and planting vegetation, and every year they expanded the new vegetation zone, how many years before they turn the sahara desert green and full of plants and trees

You can't just add water to sand to make soil dumbfuck. You just get wet sand.

thats why you start at the edges near where plants and organic material is already present, deserts did not get to be deserts overnight, it took years, so start at the edges where desertification is trying to expand in to the green zones, and start pushing it the other direction, i suggest people encourage the plants and trees to expand their territory by making it favorable with water and organic material in the sand/soil that plant life needs to survive

Just be careful about those Fremen and their giant worms. Wouldn't want another jihad on our hands.

>>8189491
first invent a method to stop Sahara from expanding

made me chuckle, nice reference, anon

>>8189438
they would move the desert over a bit

A bucket of 12 inches across and 15 inches high has a volume of 1696 cubic inches.

I cannot find an accurate amount of sand in the Sahara in terms of actual units, but I was able to find that "The volume of sand in the Sahara desert could fill approximately 850 football stadiums."

I was not sure if it's an American football stadium or a European football stadium (soccer). I was unable to find a volume for American Football, but the Wembley Stadium (soccer) has a volume of 1,139,100 m3.

Now we can solve this. 1 Cubic Meter = 61023.7441 Cubic Inch, and the football stadium has a volume of 69,512,146,904.31 (69 billion) inches. The bucket however is at 1,696.

The world population is at 7.4 billion. Our buckets have a volume of 12,550,400,000,000 (12 trillion) cubic inches. Our stadiums can hold 59,085,324,868,663.5 (59 trillion) cubic inches of sand.

We only scooped 21.25% of the sand. We'd need to each scoop 5 buckets of sand.

Oh shit, it says EVERYONE NEAR the sahara. That would barely make a dent in the sahara.

dunno, better check yourself faggot
