@EthanDeclark @franklinlorax Good thinking, ed. Saving our planet one water bottle at a time.

Kian here after learning about the top garbage waste in landfills being paper he now is making a difference and will recycle all of his school papers from now one. #apeswaste @RuffingA

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

@baumgardtjoey @kent_spenser @franklinlorax Good thinking using a reusable water bottle, joe!

Unlike @kent_spenser I use a reusable water bottle which helps protect the environment by not allowing plastic to get into landfills #apeswaste @franklinlorax

By choosing to not use this plastic water bottle, I am reducing the amount of waste I produce. From now on, I will try to use reusable cups for my hydration needs! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Lead can be found in batteries. That’s why disposal of technology can be difficult. We don’t want more lead getting into our atmosphere. @franklinlorax #apesair

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

@SR506342apes @franklinlorax There is no better time than now to start trying to reduce these greenhouse gas emissions

Cars release many harmful gases into the atmosphere, including CO2. These emissions increase greenhouse gases that scientists say are leading to global warming because it prevents heat from escaping the atomsphere. @franklinlorax #apesair

@DNackel @franklinlorax Good point, Drew. Glad we removed the carcinogen’s so us students can get smarter

Although this is a fake plant, it mimics real plants which help our earth and us humans by taking CO2 out of the air, and adding oxygen. #apesair @franklinlorax

@CW507015apes @franklinlorax Sweet video, Cameron! Interesting how they use food for energy!

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

@shawnjaskie @franklinlorax Good point Shawn! And they have cooler colors!

Though my TV is not on, it is still leaking kilowatts. To limit this leakage, I will try to remember to unplug it when not using it! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@EthanDeclark @franklinlorax @JP_Schuetz Nice picture Ed. Good observation that you are above layer A

@SR506342apes @franklinlorax Interesting thought, Sam. With those big rocks & high porosity the snow will surely melt & flow into the soil

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

When this man kicks the can, he will be reincarnated as a futuristic cyborg tiger or as humus either is possible. #apesland @apeseco

Kyle will turn into humus when he passes. As a top layer of the soil. #apesland @apeseco

walking to places that are close rather than driving will decrease my ecological footprint @franklinlorax #apespop

I use electricity everyday. by using less can really effect your ECO footprint. turning the lights off daily can help you cut down your electricity bill and help you go from more then one earth of resources to one earth. #apespop @franklinlorax
