What are the environmental impacts of limestone?
Limestone is a major component of the built environment, both as quarried stone and as the raw material for cement, mortar and concrete. It is quarried on an enormous scale, creating massive holes in the ground. Blasting produces a lot of dust which can spread for miles. Rainwater which runs over limestone reacts with it so that it becomes temporarily hard.

How do you control algae in rain barrels?
Algae in rainwater collection barrel or polyethylene tanks. Is virtually impossible to avoid, but can easily be controlled. Painting the tank is an option, but is expensive and not that enduring. A better way is to rap the container with a piece of heavy, light colored vinyl floor linoleum. A remnant that can be got at most floor covering stores. Covering the sides and top, will elemate sunlight from getting in. Also a rapping of indoor-outdoor carpeting or other insulating material under the vinyl linoleum will help in keeping the water cooler from the radiant heat from the sunlight on the linoleum. If using a shipping or storage (HDPE) tank, like I am, remove the tank and cage from the shipping pallet and place directly on the ground. This will also aid in keeping the water cooler. Mine came on a metal pallet. I removed the legs from the plate and cut holes for the lid and down spout and secured the plate to the top of the cage. It protects the top of the tank from any damage, even standing on it. Fred

Draw a chart to illustrate what happens eventually to household refuse after it has been thrown into the refuse bin or the chute?
I've ignored recycling. Answer will vary depending on where you are in the world. Generally in the U.S.: organic material in refuse -> garbage hauler -> landfill -> anaerobically decompose into landfill gas (organic material) -> landfill gas goes out into environment, or is destroyed in flare or is used in renewable energy project inorganic material in refuse -> garbage hauler -> landfill -> stays in landfill
