We live in a layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. It is the lowest region of the atmosphere where most clouds are found as well as almost all weather. #apesair@franklinlorax
Putting my car in Econ Mode will reduce my ecological footprint because it will lower the amount of fuel consumed. By doing this, my car will become more fuel efficient by reducing air pollution! @franklinlorax#apespop
My lovable dog Emmy is an example of a K-strategist. K-strategists produce less offspring, unlike R-strategists which produce more offspring! @franklinlorax#apeseco
This is my brothers bunny FLUFFY!!! He is an example of a K-Strategist which means he produces a low number of offspring and has a higher probability of survival! #apeseco@franklinlorax
Approximately four gallons of water is wasted every time you leave the water running while you brush your teeth. Make sure to turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth to save water! #apeswater@franklinlorax
Fertilizers are often used in yards. However, when fertilizer gets into runoff and enters waterways, this can cause algae bloom to form and dissolved oxygen to decrease. This is bad for aquatic organisms, so don’t use fertilizer when you don’t have to! @franklinlorax#apeswater
The small lake by my house is surrounded with this rip-rap that prevents erosion of the sediment underneath it. This is a great way to minimize the amount of suspended solids in the lake that can clog fish gills and decrease the aquatic population. @franklinlorax#apeswater
The average person uses roughly 17 gallons of water each time they shower. A good way to save water would be to take shorter showers or turn off the water while washing your hair or body! If you use water just when it’s necessary, it will help the environment more than you think!
Sustainability plays an important role in our environment. This includes air, water, plants, land, and animals. We need to take care of our planet if we want pretty flowers like these to be here for future generations! @franklinlorax#apesintro
I use the same water bottle everyday instead of using plastic water bottles that get thrown away and I also use reusable straws instead of plastic ones as well to do my part in helping the environment. #apesintro@franklinlorax
A good example of the “tragedy of commons” idea that we don't consider is traffic congestion. If too many drivers decide to take their cars, it'll take longer for everyone to get to their final destination. Try walking or biking!

Bike riding uses minimal fossil fuels and is a pollution-free way to transport. Bikes reduce the need to build, service and dispose of cars. It conserves residential space which provides opportunities for less concrete and more plant life in urban areas! @franklinlorax#apesintro
