We live a troposphere, this mean we are in the lowest region of the atmosphere. This is where weather occurs and where plane routes run through. #apesair@franklinlorax
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
The car I drive is a Toyota Hylander. This vehicle is a hybrid. This means that it is better for the environment! Though this car isn’t electric, it still makes a positive difference:) @franklinlorax#apesenergy
How we get our electricity is from coal. By only having your light or fan on when necessary will not only save money but will also leave more of a positive impact on our Earth! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
This is my car that runs only on regular unleaded gasoline (Petrol). There are alternative vehicles that are better for the environment like hybrid cars that use gasoline and the battery, or electric cars, but these can be more inconvenient to fill up. @franklinlorax#apesenergy
Turning off the water when your not using it can help to conserve energy and it even helps reduce carbon pollution which is a great way to benefit the environment! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
The size of the rock depends on how well air and water flow through. This is called porosity. A rock with more particles will normally be more porous. #apesland@franklinlorax
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
In franklin, we have low-density housing, like single family homes, taking up more land. In city areas, they have high-density housing, like apartments, which take up less land. #apesland@franklinlorax
It is important to be aware of the impacts our decisions can have on our ecological footprint. Something as easy as using a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic one reduces the amount of waste we produce while also reducing our ecological footprint. #apespop@franklinlorax
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
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
