Manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of those 
products depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange the 
atoms in coal, we get diamonds. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and 
add a pinch of impurities) we get computer chips. If we rearrange the atoms 
in dirt, water and air we get grass</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left;
