the rock used to be a landfill but was capped and is used for recreation now!! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

it was enlightening to see how much we throw away that could go to a better place @franklinlorax #apeswaste

My table group in APES is doing their part to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills. They use refillable water bottles!!! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

Every little bit counts!! @franklinlorax #apesair

Yay go us!!!! @franklinlorax #apesair

Anna and I carpool during our free block to avoid producing more GHGs and pollution!! #apesair @franklinlorax

A lot of things we don't think about use coal for power! @franklinlorax #apesenergy

Hopefully sometime in the future we will be able to use less coal and find cleaner ways to power appliances we need!! @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@franklinlorax #apesenergy My family has a hybrid car which allows us to use less gas than normal cars would. The car uses normal gas at high speeds but uses an electric motor when going at lower speeds.

Oceanic plates and continental plates have different effects depending on which way they are moving in comparison to eachother. #apesland

It's important to make sure the air machine works first, a good lab though!!! I learned a lot about porosity and its' effects. #apesland

@franklinlorax #apesland Different sized rocks allow for water to move through them more quickly or slowly than others. This is caused by the spaces between rocks that allow water to pass through, or porosity.

Thats a lot of babies!!! Maybe some of us will only have 1 baby so we could do our part to slow the growing population. #apespop @franklinlorax

Having less children will increase the resources we have available for everyone in the world instead of using them all for large families!! #apespop @franklinlorax

@franklinlorax #apespop Malnutrition is a big problem in less developed countries. Sometimes people have enough food but not the nutrition they need from it. We can make better choices in the food we eat to supply us with healthy energy!!

It's crazy to see all of the animals that can coexist in a small area and provide for eachother and humans!

We still get a decent amount of rain too and have some great wildlife!

@franklinlorax #apesecology Living in Wisconsin, we are part of the temperate seasonal forest biome. That means we have an average temperature of 50°F and we have significant changes in seasons during the year. Our summers are mild and our winters are very cold.
