I agree it's very important to recycle reusable materials. My family tries to recycle all that we can.

I think our goverment should encourage recycling more so that we can reduce the amount of waste we produce

There are many things that people throw away that can actually be recycled. Such as paper, cardboard, glass and plastic. By recycling these materials we reduce the amount of waste we produce. #apeswaste @vahsapes

I think Hydropower is a great source of renewable energy I just wish there was a safer way for us to get it without damaging ecosystem.

We do the same thing when we go on vacation. We also turn off the water heater.

Your right, I don't feel like as a society we appreciate enough how easy it is for us to access clean and safe water.

That's really cool! I don't see a lot of houses with solar panels.

There are 2 types of sources of water pollution, point source and nonpoint source. Point source, you can directly point to the source of pollution. While nonpoint pollution you can't, it's more of a general area. @vahsapes #apeshydro

Turning the light off every time you leave a room is a simple way to conserve energy. @vahsapes #apesenergy

Currently farmers are using pesticides to try and kill pest so that they can increase their crop yield, but this is leading to several problems such as pesticide-resistance and health complications. #apespest @vahsapes

I think we need to monitor how much pesticides we use to try to prevent this.

I agree, I think that the cons out weight the pros for use of pesticides on lawns and gardens

That's really cool that you grew your own cucumbers!

I think that people in our planet use pesticides too much and too often. And they don't know about all the harm they are doing to our planet and soil.

Soil has five distinct parts! mineral particals, organic material, water and air. Typical soil is 45% mineral particals, 5% organic material, 25% water and 25% air. @apessoil @vahsapes

@cf17apes @vahsapes We need to install water bottle refilling station's, so that we can encourage the use of reusable water bottles at our school.

Reusable water bottles are a great way to drink fresh water throughout the day while also protecting our oceans and other marine habitats! Plastic water bottles don't break down and can harm animals who try to eat them #apesaqua @vahsapes

@AA17apes @vahsapes It's really upsetting to known that our pond at school is polluted. They need to hurry up and clean up the pond, cause Ashley and I once saw a crane that got trapped in the pond cause of the strings.

In the US we take for granted our water supply. There are people all of the world who don't have an sufficient supply of water. Some people have to walk several miles to find a source of water. Even then the water is usually polluted and contaminated with pathogens. @vahsapes

That's very interesting I would have never thought that ponds are more diverse than lakes. #apesbio

An even better solution would be to convert all books online and stop printing them on paper. #apesbio
