An essential component of cement is limestone, which is heated at extreme temperatures to create clinker – cement's key binding ingredient. Limestone is extracted from large, open pit mines called quarries. In Europe, it is estimated that there are 400 active limestone quarries. Quarries are temporary, but their environmental impacts are …
