I would like to commerate the 8 materials that are all taken for granted but make up our everyday life: Metal, Wood, Plastic, Rubber, Glass, Fabric, Paper, and Concrete. Interestingly all but 2 of them can be made by non-artificial means(though Wood is the only one of them can only be made by non-artificial means):
Plastic and Concrete are the only 2 of these that can only be made by aritficial means (concrete; by definition, is artificial sedimentary rock). I would have included masonary (the stuff of which bricks are made), but not too many buildings are made with bricks; most suburban houses are made of wood, while all urban skyscrapers are made of metal and concrete.
