This plastic water bottle is an example of plastic waste. Plastic debris clogs up landfills, blocks drains, pollutes waterways and contributes to biodiversity loss. It is important to recycle plastic in order to avoid such problems. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

My family turns in our old phones when we buy new ones so that they can be disposed of properly. #APESwaste @franklinlorax

@AdamStJohn10 @franklinlorax The bad Ozone we have in the troposphere is one of the 5 major green house gases. #apesair @franklinlorax

It was a rainy day today. Weather occurs in the trophosphere which is the same layer of atmosphere that we live in. It’s also where there is bad ozone as well as where planes fly. @franklinlorax #apesair

@KS506439apes @franklinlorax Now that we are all inQuarantine NOx emissions are down. #apesair @franklinlorax

Motor vehicles emit harmful gases such as C02, CO, NO. Particulate matter, consisting of tiny particles of smoke, is also emitted. The emissions have caused the atmospheric CO2 concentrations to increase by 40% since pre-industrial times. @franklinlorax #apesair

There are many appliances that we don't use all the time but are left plugged in. By unplugging these appliances when not in use will reduce your energy consumption and your electric bill. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

We live in the troposphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere where planes fly and weather happens. This later is also known as bad ozone because of the emissions from cars and factory. @franklinlorax #apesair

i unplug my chargers from the outlet when i’m not using them because keeping them plugged in consumes energy. it also helps save money! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

At my house, we use an electric stove which is a “heavy-draw appliance.” This means it uses quite a lot of power (1500 watts per hour). In order to conserve energy, my family reduces their overall cook time. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@AdamStJohn10 @franklinlorax There are also fully electric cars. But those ones can’t go as far as cars that use gas. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

I drive a Ford Fusion hybrid. This is very energy efficient because it’s part electric so it doesn’t use as much gas as other cars do. It’s better for the environment because there are less CO2 emissions than a lot other cars. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@TG506401apes @franklinlorax The energy that we get from WEE energies comes from coal plants. Coal plants give off a lot of CO2 emissions. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

My family uses LED light bulbs around the house to same money and electricity. We also make sure to turn of and unplug appliances when we aren’t using them. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@AdamStJohn10 @franklinlorax I use things like this everyday @franklinlorax #apesland

My table and chair is made out of wood. This along with flooring and other furniture is a big reason why we log. This helps the business keep growing. @franklinlorax #apesland

@KS506439apes @franklinlorax There are also convergent and divergent boundaries @franklinlorax #apesland

This picture is an example of a convergent boundary. This happens when two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, causing one plate to slide below the other. The collision of the tectonic plates can result in earthquakes and volcanoes. @franklinlorax #apesland

When I was younger, this land by my house use to be full of trees, bodies of water, and vegetation. A bit less than a decade ago the trees were cut down and the land was turned into practice fields for Franklin High School, limiting trees in the area. 🌲 @franklinlorax #apesland

Trees are being cut down to make everything from furniture to paper. This is causing deforestation, a major environmental issue we face today. We don’t always think about what our everyday items are made out of. @franklinlorax #apesland

@KS506439apes @franklinlorax There are many other countries just like Haiti. Developing programs like family planning could start to help their situation @franklinlorax #apespop

Haiti is an example of a least developed country. Haiti faces several environmental issues, such as overpopulation, deforestation, and a lack of sanitation. It has the highest rate of infant, under five and maternal mortality in the Western Hemisphere. @franklinlorax #apespop
