A lot of times, I can see airplanes fly above my house. This is because their routes run through the troposphere, which the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This layer is also responsible for the weather we have! #apesair @franklinlorax

My house is powered by coal which emits CO2 into the atmosphere. Other energy sources like wind and solar energy are cleaner for the environment. However, the problem with these energy sources is that they vary in availability and intensity. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

energy/electricity generated from wind turbines includes many pros. more specifically, wind energy is a clean, renewable source, and is one of the most cost-effective sources for electricity😁 @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@JP508771apes @franklinlorax Thank you for conserving energy and helping our environment!

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

@danes_julia @franklinlorax Good job driving a hybrid vehical, you are helping our environment!

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

The car I drive is a Hyundai Tucson, which runs on regular gasoline. But, Hyundai also makes hybrid models that are much better for the environment-they emit 46% less greenhouse gas than my car would. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@danes_julia @franklinlorax This is such a good example of the benefits of public land!

Super thankful for all the public land available in our state of Wisconsin! This gives my dog so much room to run around👍🏽🐶🐾 @franklinlorax #apesland

@JP508771apes @franklinlorax This is a really good example of porosity being shown in every day life!

The size of the rocks depends on how well water/ air will flow through. Which this is called porosity. #apesland @franklinlorax

@JT508643apes @koetting_sophia @franklinlorax I'm so thankful Wisconsin has public land so we can have all of these benefits!

public land in WI is essential as it provides an economic boost, a source of clean air and water, protects vulnerable wildlife, etc. !!!! 😄@franklinlorax #apesland

My yard has lots of rocks that’s are different shapes and sizes. When water flows through then we can determine the size and porosity. @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

There are many different sizes and shapes of rocks. As water flows through them, we are able to identify these sizes through their porosity, permeability, and water retention. #apesland @franklinlorax

This is my brother Alex. Because we are the only two kids, we have an average sized family. This means we take up less resources and don’t have as big of a ecological footprint. #apespop @franklinlorax

@CapstranAbby @franklinlorax I love the way you explained how our resources are affected by this!

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

@JD508477apes @franklinlorax This is such a good way to reduce your ecological footprint! I am going to try to do this as well.

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

Here are two of the 7.7 billion people in our world! #apespopulation @franklinlorax

Even though temperatures can get very cold in Wisconsin, I am glad that I live in a temperate forest biome. Living here means we experience all four seasons! #apeseco @franklinlorax

@JD508477apes @franklinlorax This is such a good example of how the emerald ash borers have affected our planet.

In my backyard, we have several ash trees within the woods. Since the invasive species of emerald ash borers came to the United States, they have killed many of our ash trees by feeding on the bark, leaving the trees dead as you can see in the picture. @franklinlorax #apeseco
