my family and i try our best to recycle as much as we can in order to avoid throwing out reusable items. this takes the most energy but is still a way to keep biodegradable & recyclable objects out of the landfills!!! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

@ApesDanielle @franklinlorax By doing little things like not buying new electronics every year and/or repairing our electronics, we are able to reduce the amount of E-waste in our landfills! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

A good way to help minimize the amount of waste in landfills is by composting. You can compost items like banana peels and apple cores!! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@pitcher_clare @franklinlorax Awesome work clare! It is crazy to think the effect that recycling and composting can do for the environment! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Our chromebooks are one example of E-waste! Instead of our school giving us new ones each year, we reuse the same one for all of our years of schooling! This is very beneficial as it reduces e-waste which reduces a lot of toxic waste! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@FranklinSabers @franklinlorax in order to reduce plastic waste, we use reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones!! every time we use a reusable water bottle, there is one less plastic bottle harming the Earth!! happy Earth day!!🌎 #GainFHSAPES

Happy #EarthDay2020 Sabers! Let’s make this planet a little bit better today. Share a photo of you doing something good for the Earth!

@AH511299apes @franklinlorax Luckily staying at home has a benefit for not only us people, but for the environment as well! I can imagine there is a huge decline in carbon emissions since more people have stayed home! @franklinlorax #apesair

@villwockm_apes @franklinlorax I agree maddie!! I just want it to be summer, if only we could tilt towards the sun a little faster :) @franklinlorax #apesair

All weather occurs in the troposphere which is the layer we live in. The seasons we experience are caused by the tilt of the Earths axis. I’m sick of this 30 degree weather and can’t wait till it’s summer weather!! @franklinlorax #apesair

Staying home has caused ppl to drive less, reducing carbon emissions. However, more ppl are running/walking so they are releasing CO2 into the atmosphere themselves. But, this is better for the environment than driving as less greenhouse gases are emitted. #apesair @franklinlorax

@leslierapp_fhs @franklinlorax This is very true! Staying home truly does have its benefits for us, one being saving energy :) @franklinlorax #apesenergy

Car engines use gasoline made from crude oil which releases toxic pollutants when burned. But, because we aren’t driving as much, we are using less gas so there are less car emissions. At least there are some environmental benefits from self isolation! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@villwockm_apes @franklinlorax Doing the little things, like shutting off the lights, can save a lot of energy over time! great job !! @franklinlorax #apesenergy

Sometimes I like to turn off my lights in my room so the natural light can filter in my which means shutting off coal powered lights and conserving energy! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

With having to be at home because of corona, my little brother has used A LOT of energy by playing xbox. In order to reduce energy usage, we limit him to one hour a day and have now switched to playing outside which uses no energy! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

Books use a lot of paper which means a lot of logging occurs. Although many trees are cut down for paper, libraries help reduce the amount of paper used due to reuseable books. @franklinlorax #apesland

In city areas like Milwaukee, they have high-density housing, whereas in franklin we have low-density housing.The two areas are very different but Milwaukee's housing is better because it allows there to have more room for more land. @franklinlorax #apesland

@chloe82393733 @franklinlorax However, with the increase in urbanization there is more pollution present, such as the increase in smog, noise, light, and heat pollution! @franklinlorax #apesland

@EB507675apes @franklinlorax America is very prone to using this method. In order to keep up, every tree we cut down, we should plant a new one!! @franklinlorax #apesland

Many things in my house are made from wood including the majority of the items in my room. This is a similar case to many other people. Having all of these wood items makes humans log which takes a lot of forestry to sustain the bussiness. #Apesland @franklinlorax

My mom loves Mountain Dew! Using LD50’s, with the amount of caffeine in a can (54mg) corresponding with her weight, drinking 155.5 cans would kill an average person her size! #apesland @franklinlorax
