Creating Roads From Sand and Bacteria Instead of Oil | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building

The designers’ plan would create roads from abundantly available sand mixed with the microbe Bacillus Pasteurii, which would cement it into a biologically engineered hardened sandstone. The idea is that this sand/microbe solution could then be sprayed onto a layer of sand, which would then harden it into a tough road surface.
