I am fortunate enough to have had the best teachers of my school era, still available when I was going to school; you know; that place where they teach you to

• be quiet
• not ask too many questions
• sit quietly and still for hours
• do as you're told
• basically program you to become a working drone

That part didn't work on me.

All others good things did work

I learned

• the languages
• the Physics
• the Chemistry 🧪
• the Mathematics
• Linear Algebra
• the Quantum Physica
• on every process I was already executing ever since I was a young bright child

6CO2+ 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

This is one of the most important chemical formulas / chemical reactions on Terra

If you've never had any chemistry please go and look it up {sources}.

It's important to know this formula by heart.

If you've had chemistry in school, didn't really like the subject, please also go look it up too.

When you've read the article about this reaction you will understand why I made that statement of massive importance.

Without this Natural Chemical Reaction, life, complex life 🧬 for the species of Homo Sapiens would not be possible!

There are many other reactions in chemistry which dictate what we do, which drive our Corpus, which drive our psyche. I shall not delve into those now, that is for other articles.

With all this knowledge in background, I saw this generic article on chemistry and this molecule jumped out

The carbonates are very important and very interesting chemicals which many occur in nature. In fact, the things that they can do for us are so vast and diverse, that I will just point you to a page where everything is neatly and properly explained, on a technical dedactive level.

Alkaline reactions are a few of the processes that the carbonates can do for us.

Carbonates are used to soften water

Ca2+ + CO2−3→ CaCO3 (s) {sources}

We also use it in cooking, you do that too, when we bake with dough

When you've read just a section of the article, you'll realize that you use this family of chemicals everyday ;)

Chemistry 🧪 has never been a mystery for me. I love the way many processes work chemically, it makes everything in nature so nice and beautiful.

A cohesive comprehension of Nature builds within you, when you understand the mathematics, the physics, the chemistry of processes, which in the beginning seem complex, but are quite simple when divided in the sub processes

#Maine will require battery makers to provide #recycling options

By Tina Fischer, April 9, 2026

"Gov. #JanetMills signed into law a measure that will offer more options to recycle both single-use #alkaline and #LithiumIon batteries in Maine.

"LD 474 updates the state’s current product stewardship laws to require national battery manufacturing companies to set up drop-off locations and fund a statewide take-back program so that all batteries can be safely disposed of and rare earth metals can be extracted for reuse.

"Eight other states have enacted similar laws.

"The state’s existing battery recovery program, enacted in 1991, covers only nickel-cadmium batteries. Many hardware stores, town offices and Staples stores in Maine accept some types of batteries for recycling. The nationwide Battery Network lists on its website drop-off locations in Maine.

"Improper disposal of lithium-ion batteries — commonly found in power tools, cell phone chargers and #vaping devices — has led to at least 24 fires at recycling facilities in Maine. Disposal concerns have driven up insurance rates for towns, according to the #MaineDEP.

"More than 820,000 pounds of batteries are thrown away in Maine every year, according to the Natural Resources Council of Maine [#NRCM].

" 'Holding corporate battery makers accountable for cleaning up waste will lower costs for Mainers and help curb demand for mining rare earth metals,' said Vanessa Berry, sustainable Maine program manager at the nonprofit.

"It is technically illegal in Maine to dispose of rechargeable, button cell, or lead-acid batteries in the regular trash."
