What would happen if you didn't have limestone?

we wouldn't have these- -Limestone is used in buildings and roads. - Limestone can be used in glass making. - Limestone is used in toothpaste. - Limestone is used in cement and mortar. - Limestone is used in bread and cereals as a source of calcium. - Limestone is used to make paper white. -Limestone is used to purify sugar. -Pulverized limestone is used to neutralize acidic soils. -Limestone can be used to make brake pads. -Limestone is used in the preparation of wools and dyes. -Limestone is used to make antacids. -Limestone is used in climbing walls. -Limestone is used a suppression of methane explosions in underground coalmines. -Limestone is added to plastics, paint, tiles and other materials as both white pigment and cheap filler. -Limestone is used in the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). -Limestone can be used to create steel by using it in a blast furnace.
