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

When my family and I are making food, we throw our scraps into a bag and put them in our compost at the end of the night, so that instead of filling up landfills, we reuse what we have for a better purpose. #APESwaste @franklinlorax

This plastic water bottle is an example of plastic waste. Plastic debris clogs up landfills, blocks drains, pollutes waterways and contributes to biodiversity loss. It is important to recycle plastic in order to avoid such problems. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

@Alyssa_FHS_APES @franklinlorax With the current pandemic, the emissions from cars and factories has drastically decreased.

We live in the troposphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere where planes fly and weather happens. This later is also known as bad ozone because of the emissions from cars and factory. @franklinlorax #apesair

@NickBurroughs17 @franklinlorax With the current pandemic, harmful gases aren’t being emitted as much as they used to.

Its important to recognize how our driving habits effect the environment. CO2, CO, and NO are are increasing in the atmosphere the more we drive. #apesair @franklinlorax

@FranklinSabers @franklinlorax To conserve energy, I turn off my bedroom light switches whenever I leave my room. #GainFHSAPES

Happy #EarthDay2020 Sabers! Let’s make this planet a little bit better today. Share a photo of you doing something good for the Earth!

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

@TG506401apes @franklinlorax That’s a great way to reduce your electric bill.

There are many appliances that we don't use all the time but are left plugged in. By unplugging these appliances when not in use will reduce your energy consumption and your electric bill. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@NickBurroughs17 @franklinlorax True! Newer light bulbs are more energy efficient.

It's important to know what kind of light bulb you use. Older light bulbs take way more energy to give off the same amount of light as newer ones using way less energy. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

I drive a Ford Fusion hybrid. This is very energy efficient because it’s part electric so it doesn’t use as much gas as other cars do. It’s better for the environment because there are less CO2 emissions than a lot other cars. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

At my house, we use an electric stove which is a “heavy-draw appliance.” This means it uses quite a lot of power (1500 watts per hour). In order to conserve energy, my family reduces their overall cook time. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@NickBurroughs17 Very true! We need to practice sustainability with such renewable resources.

Wood is easy to craft with using our modern tools, and can be finished to provide an appealing aesthetic (like this table). With easy accessibility, wood is all around a great resources. We need to practice sustainability to ensure there is wood for future generations.

@TG506401apes @franklinlorax This is also an example of a convergent plate boundary.

This is an example of a hot spot. This is when a plate is forced under another plate. This forces molten rock through the crust forming volcanoes. This is how the Hawaiian Islands were formed. @franklinlorax #apesland

Trees are being cut down to make everything from furniture to paper. This is causing deforestation, a major environmental issue we face today. We don’t always think about what our everyday items are made out of. @franklinlorax #apesland

This picture is an example of a convergent boundary. This happens when two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, causing one plate to slide below the other. The collision of the tectonic plates can result in earthquakes and volcanoes. @franklinlorax #apesland

My ecological footprint would require 4.1 earths to sustain. Something I could do to reduce this number is changing my lightbulbs to LEDs to conserve energy. #apespop @franklinlorax

I'm using two computers at once even though I really don't need to. This increases my carbon footprint minimally but still increases it @franklinlorax #apespop
