'''Kaqemeex''' (pronounced "cake mix") is a [[Guthix]]ian [[druid]] who can be found in the [[Druids' Circle]] in [[Taverley]]. Kaqemeex is the chairman of [[Collected Appreciators of RuneScape's Environment]] (CARE), an environmental organisation working to prevent damage to [[Gielinor]]'s environment<ref name="postbag24">[http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Postbag_24 Postbag from the Hedge - Issue 24], ''RuneScape'' news archive (29 October 2007)</ref>. In the quest ''[[While Guthix Sleeps]]'', [[Thaerisk Cemphier]] claims that Kaqemeex is a supporter of [[Crux Eqal]], an underground organisation of druids who are currently working to combat the threat of the [[Mahjarrat]].

Kaqemeex is the start point of the quest ''[[Druidic Ritual]]'', the quest required to start learning the skill of [[Herblore]]. During the quest, players learn that he is the master for Herblore. Players with [[Level 99 skills|level 99]] in Herblore may buy the [[Herblore cape]] from him for 99,000 [[coins]].

In his reply to a question about the impact of [[Firemaking]] and [[Smithing]] on the environment of [[Gielinor]], Kaqemeex explains:

{{cquote2|...the condition of RuneScape is getting worse. This is most clearly seen with the [[Kharidian Desert|Kharidian desert]], which is creeping north at a rate of one metre per year. It may seem inconsequential, but this rate is growing. Imagine ''RuneScape'' a thousand years ago – with forests, streams and grassland as far south as the [[Duel Arena]].

The ice sheets of the north, too, are melting at rates that have serious implications to ''RuneScape''. At current rates, we could see large-scale flooding of [[Lumbridge Swamp]], [[Tutorial Island]], [[Mos Le'Harmless]] and [[Catherby]].

Although the current trend for [[Firemaking]] has had an impact on the levels of pollution, it is the move towards industrialisation that is the worst culprit. [[Dwarves|Dwarven technology]] alone produces 65% of emissions, and this will only get worse as they continue to manufacture and process.

The heads of the dwarven states refuse to acknowledge this, of course, as exemplified by [[Drorkar]]'s popular thesis "[[1001 Uses for Soot: A Celebration]]".

While lies like these exist, our ability to educate the world about an overheating ''RuneScape'' is diminished.|Kaqemeex|Postbag from the Hedge - Issue 24<ref name="postbag24" />}}
