Sir Grantavious Hemingsworth is being a jolly ol’ soul by recycling his Arnie Palmy can. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@baudry_alec @franklinlorax Wow. Stellar. I bet he reuses his watery bottles too! What a model environmentalist. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@brookevaldez_3 @SydneyReinhard2 @franklinlorax Instead of using a new straw everyday, she should invest in a reusable straw to use on the daily. Would change everything. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

When I visited the Recycling plant in Milwaukee I learned that most recyclables are sorted and bundled into large, heavy cubes then sent for reuse. 2 of the 3 R’s in one place! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

This is my sink. It's Pretty cool. But it would be way cooler if it had an anaerobic digester, to turn all of our food scraps into energy! @franklinlorax #APESENERGY

This energy that is used in the school for lighting, and majorly everything, is from a coal powerplant that is burned and converted to energy for us. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

Visiting Sendik’s in Franklin taught us a ton about how stores that have large amounts of food waste have been using the ‘Grind2Energy’ resource to produce energy that then goes to the grid. Check out this video of the grinding in action! @franklinlorax #APESEnergy

@TylerStrausbau1 @franklinlorax This is very fascinating... the fact that we have a mine in the middle of our own town is so cool! I wonder what minerals they are extracting, but I sure do see a lot of trucks drive out of there! I wish I could see the inside! #APESLand @franklinlorax

The franklin quarry is an example of a strip mine. It is an example of open face mining. Even though they are only extracting rock, it is still considered mining which surprises many people. #apesland @franklinlorax

.@franklinlorax this guy is just flexed on us all and related it to APES! I bet he speaks for the trees! #APESEco #flex #lorax #speak #for #the #trees #ugly #tho #smh

Farmers in Wisconsin need to use various strategies and crop layouts in order to avoid losing their great crop to things like outbreak and erosion! Here is a corn field in upper wisconsin that uses some of the strategies that thousands of farmers use! @franklinlorax #APESLand

@MM505699apes @franklinlorax This is so cool! The fact that faults and the plates under the ground can create such large structures is fascinating. I wonder if any other land structures are forming at this time! #APESLand @franklinlorax

this map is a great example of a topographical map of the world, showing the mountains, valleys and depths of the ocean. these variations can be created by different kinds of fault lines #APESLand @franklinlorax

In our apes lab, we learned that particle size has an effect on porosity, permeability, and water retention. With such big rocks, like the ones in my backyard, we would expect a high porosity and high permeability however a low water retention. #apesland @franklinlorax

The way we treat the land, and soil we live on is important in making the grass as green as Oakwood golf course in this picture. @franklinlorax #apesland

@kent_spenser @franklinlorax I sure hope this doesnt happen to humans as the population grows over time! By 2050 we are projected to have 10,000,000 humans on earth but with technology, medicine and agriculture we can allow ourselves to live for longer! #APESPop

This is what would happen if populations reach over the carrying capacity. There would not be a sufficient amount of resources to fit everyone’s needs, which will result in death and starvation. #apespop @franklinlorax

My friend tommy is very over nourished and consumes a lot of calories #apespop @franklinlorax

Although we cant burn this to find out how many calories there are, the real process is called food calorimetry and it is used to daily to calculate calorie count in foods! #APESPop @franklinlorax

@JT505759apes @franklinlorax I love breathing clean oxygen and trees help us do just that very well! I am so happy that we have the Lorax to protect these trees. #ApesEco

Check out the trees our class is growing! There is so much deforestation today! Growing trees is the only way we can preserve the oxygen and habitats that have been lost! @franklinlorax #APESECO

@kent_spenser @franklinlorax This is such a cool process. I wonder how many years a rock like this type and size takes to break down and become smaller pieces of rock and eventually into things like gravel and sand!

Primary succession usually starts with bare rock like this! Rocks like these have never been colonized and community changes can occur in these habitats! @franklinlorax #apeseco

Random dispersion is a when a population is dispersed without a predictable pattern. Trees, such as the ones in our apes classroom, are an example of random dispersement because each tree grows independent of the help of others! #apeseco @franklinlorax
