we live in the Earths Troposphere. the water vapor in the troposphere creates the clouds and is where other weather patterns occur! @franklinlorax#apesair
My family tries to keep our lights off during the day and use natural light to light our house. While at night when the our lights are turned on, they are powered by coal fuels. 💡@franklinlorax#apesenergy
Whenever I am not charging my phone, I make sure to unplug my charger. This helps to save energy and reduce the amount of coal burned for electricity!! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
Our electricity is powered by coal. Whenever I am not charging my computers, I make sure to unplug the charger so that I can help save energy and decrease the amount of coal being burned. #apesenergy@franklinlorax
this is the oak creek power plant. this power plant is a coal and natural gas powered electrical plant that uses the energy that it creates for electricity for the city! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
these plants that i keep on my window sill love sunlight. they don’t require much water and have a porous soil that has all the nutrients that they need to grow! @franklinlorax#apesland
When trees in my backyard were cut down last summer, clear cut method was used to remove an area of the forest. This causes negative effects on the environment with a decrease in biodiversity, oxygen being put into the air, and increased erosion. @franklinlorax#apesland
This specific plant thrives with lots of water and natural sunlight, so for best growth we put it near a window and in soil that retains the right amount of water while still being porous enough to let air and water to all of its roots. 🪴 @franklinlorax#apesland
These rocks in my backyard have high porosity and permeability due to their size. However, the water retention is low allowing water to flow right through. #apesland@franklinlorax
Keltie’s family has 4 kids which is more than the average family so they need more resources than the average family. Julia’s family has 2 kids which is average so they take up less resources and don’t have as big of a ecological footprint. #apespop@franklinlorax
i try to use a reusable water bottle everyday in hopes of reducing my ecological footprint. Millions of plastic water bottles are used everyday and this is just one way you can reduce plastic pollution! @franklinlorax#apespop
Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, our population is using masks in order to keep each other healthy. This has decreased death rates around the world to keep stable populations! @franklinlorax#apespop
This salad is an example of a vegetarian meal. After learning how many resources I use through my ecological footprint, I pledged to have a vegetarian meal at least once a month. This change reduced my footprint by 1 earth, which is a big difference. 🌎 @franklinlorax#apespop
