cattle poop that is untreated can cause water pollution in the same way as fertilisers do. we need to do as much as we can to reduce waste polluting waters from large scale cattle farms to our own back yards #apeshydro @vahsapes

Pesticides are poisons and, unfortunately, they can harm more than just the “pests” at which they are targeted. They are toxic, and exposure to pesticides can cause a number of health effects, when using them be mindful of where runnoff will drain #apespest @vahsapes

Recycling can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and incinerators. It can conserve natural resources such as timber, water and minerals, and increase economic security by tapping into a local source of materials from recycled products #apeswaste @vahsapes

Turning down your thermostat when yoyrnjot home in the winter and making sure your lights are off when not in a room can conserve tons of energy in your home and show when you get that bill at the end of the month @vahsapes #apesenergy

Soil is everywhere, this chart allows you to determine what type of soil your around. It uses the different percentages of clay, silt, and sand to determine the type of soil your inspecting #apessoil @vahsapes

Algal blooms can decrease your DO, increase your Turbity. Make sure to avoid runoff from fertilizer uses around your ponds! #apesaqua @vahsapes

Lots of pest can live in any given area of nature, not just in agriculture #apespest @vahsapes

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

Welcome to our APES Project Lorax Twitter Page!

Waves and storms degrade our beaches daily, trash left on beaches can be swept out to sea and harm or injure marine life. Keep our beaches clean and well kept, leaving the beach you should have everything you brought with you. #apesbio @vahsapes
