E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E3, chemistry; the pressure it names: rare earths mining. Its words also reach E7 ecosystems, E11 organizations and E10 institutions.

Here it is a dynamic between chemistry, ecosystems and organizations: rare earths extraction and scandium (E3 chemistry), with wildfire risks, climate changes, fire activity and Amazon rainforest (E7 ecosystems), and Mining company Alvo (E11 organizations).
