Did you know that when a plastic bottle goes into a landfill, it can take more than 450+ years to fully decompose. Insane! Right @LJ? @franklinlorax#apeswaste
When workers were creating the high school, they had to make sure the asbestos was gone, because it’s a harmful carcinogen. Otherwise academic marvels such as LJ would not be able to participate in school. @franklinlorax#apesair
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
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
@TylerStrausbau1@franklinlorax Jeez Ty, another insane inference! Never thought about it like that, this term is a little different to the well known “strip mining” in Minecraft. Watch out for that Lava!
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
The top layer of soil (O) is made up of organic material or humus. It helps retain moisture in the soil and helps plants be more accessible to nutrients. Humus also helps to improve the overall health of the soil. #apesland@franklinlorax
This is big red. Big red is an older truck that doesn’t get the best fuel economy which means when I drive I leave a greater ecological footprint. I could reduce the growth of my ecological foot print by getting a more fuel efficient vehicle. #apespop@franklinlorax
This child is malnourished. That is when you don’t get the correct balance of nutrients in your diet. I do have to say he’s pretty swole 💪🏼 @franklinlorax#apespop
