Burning #SeaShells to make #quicklime

"Burning seashells to make quicklime once was a great tradition in the #NorthAtlantic region. In Millstone Park, Hyllestad (W-Norway), we have built two #limekilns, reviving old lime burning traditions, involving #craftspeople, volunteers and the public. Recently we burnt sea shells to make #LimePaint and #mortar! Read about the experiment in a new poster and web article."

He has actively implemented MEER in Sierra Leone, but not sure if he got to the shells/lime thing or not. https://www.prweb.com/releases/harvard-faculty-ye-tao-presents-a-solution-to-the-climate-change-crisis-at-nanoscientific-symposium-nov-19-2019-831624307.html
