The Mississippi River is the 2nd most polluted waterway in the U.S. It gets polluted by lots of plastic, sewage, sawdust, oil, and industrial waste. @franklinlorax#apeswaste
E-waste is the fastest growing source of waste in the world right now. To decrease the amount of E-waste that I contribute, I use devices with batteries that can be recharged up to one thousand times. #apeswaste@franklinlorax
We live in a world where we use lots of technology and there is an increasing amount of e-waste. I try to do my part reduce the amount of e-waste by using rechargeable devices. #apeswaste@franklinlorax
Motor vehicles like my car release NOx & pollutants into the atmosphere. By riding my bike rather than taking my car places I am helping prevent the release of these harmful things into the air #apesair@franklinlorax
Quarantine has caused us all to stop using our vehicles less which has led to less emissions and anthropogenic gases which is great for the environment! Although quarantine has been bad, trying to continue these practices into the future could be great. #apesair@franklinlorax
Motor vehicles emit harmful gases such as C02, CO, NO. Particulate matter, consisting of tiny particles of smoke, is also emitted. The emissions have caused the atmospheric CO2 concentrations to increase by 40% since pre-industrial times. @franklinlorax#apesair
When we drive, our cars emit gases like NOx, which pollutes our air. This is seen as anthropogenic because it is human caused. With quarantine, we are all driving a lot less which is helping our air quality! @franklinlorax#apesair
Our sunroom has a lot of windows to let in sunlight. When it’s light outside, we can turn the lights off in our house to conserve electricity! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
In my house, my family uses Zilotek LED bulbs. They only consume 14 watts of electricity, which adds up to using less than $2 every year in energy. Another plus is that these bulbs can last up to 4 1/2 years. #apesenergy@franklinlorax
When I’m done playing my PS4 to conserve energy I unplug it from the wall. I do this because I know that plugged in items even when off use energy. @franklinlorax#apesenergy

@ApesTrent@franklinlorax My back yard used to be all open land, now there is houses that surround us all around. Crazy how population growth changed our day to day lives! #apesland
When my house was first built, there was nothing but open field in front. But as the population in franklin grew, more houses were built taking up land that could be used for farming or other services. #apesland@franklinlorax
Some species of parrots are going extinct due to deforestation. Many animals lose their habitat and food source because of deforestation, causing a decrease in biodiversity. @franklinlorax#apesland
Here in Franklin, we do not live near a fault line of a tectonic plate however we still experience very low magnitude earthquakes every day #apesland@franklinlorax
The San Andreas fault is a continental transform fault in the state of California. The plates in the fault slide against eachother for form the fault. Hopefully it stays in tact and we don’t end up like the Rock in the movie San Andreas #apesland@franklinlorax
