Our daily transportation and frequent use of automobiles releases high amounts of CO2 and NOX into the atmosphere. Plants help mitigate this impact by using carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. @franklinlorax #apesair

Unplugging your chargers after you're done with them is an easy yet important way to save energy. One person's impact might be minimal but everyone's cumulative efforts can help reduce our ecological footprints. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@AE508409apes @franklinlorax Awesome! Using LEDs is a great way to save electricity and money on your electricity bills! ⚡⚡

LED lights like this use far less electricity than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. No matter what bulbs you use, you should always turn off the lights when you don't need them in order to save electricity. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@AR507596apes @franklinlorax Wow! You can even turn off electricity to specific parts of your house to save energy!

Our circuit breaker panel is responsible for controlling the distribution of electricity to our house. This means the energy coming from burning coal is distributed across our house to power different utilities. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

Using this electric meter, We Energies can keep track of our monthly energy use to calculate our electric bill. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

wind energy is a unlimited renewable resource that exists due to the earth spinning & unequal heating of the planet surface. i spotted some wind turbines in the image below! negatives, however, include being a blight, noise pollution, & killing birds @franklinlorax #apesenergy

Plants like this one require certain percentages of clay, sand, and silt to create the right amount of permeability and hold moisture! #apesland

@AM516897apes @franklinlorax My neighborhood is also made up of low density housing. It's definitely an advantage to have more privacy and land compared to high density areas!

My suburban neighborhood is made up of low density housing. This means I have more land around my house compared to high density housing that may have some or none at all! @franklinlorax #apesland

soil is made up of the o, a, e, b, & c horizons, as well as bedrock. the o horizon is made up of organic surface litter; a of topsoil; e of the zone of leaching; b of subsoil: & c of weathered parent matetial. @franklinlorax #apesland

When deciding to start cultivating different plants, such as flowers, crops, or even grass, we must be aware of what we include in the soil and how much. Some nutrients, like fertilizer, can be good, but they can also ruin your plants if used incorrectly. @franklinlorax #apesland

These trees in my backyard are able to grow due to all the nutrients they get from the soil they are in. @franklinlorax #apesland

@Elliott_Harris6 @franklinlorax No way! The trees in my backyard also grow because of the nutrients in the soil they are in! 🌳🌳

@BM8675309apes @franklinlorax That's super neat! Perhaps an immigrant workforce is something that countries like Japan should implement to offset an aging population!

This seashell is from the state of Odisha in India, where I was born! Immigrants, like me, are not counted in population pyramids. Countries, like the US that receive many immigrants can offset the issues of an aging population and shrinking workforce. #apespop @franklinlorax

@CA507712apes @franklinlorax You're cutting out the production costs of hundreds of water bottles and reducing your personal ecological footprint by using a refillable water bottle. Way to go Cole!

Using this refillable water bottle everyday helps me reduce the amount of pollution I put out, overall reducing my ecological footprint @franklinlorax #apespop

The wings we got tonight help us avoid malnutrition by giving us the protein we need in our diet! @franklinlorax #apespop

Our ecological footprint is greatly affected by transportation. Using a hybrid vehicle and carpooling reduces emissions and makes travelling more sustainable! @franklinlorax #apespop

@SM507721apes @franklinlorax So grateful to be living in a temperate seasonal biome! That means we can experience all four of the seasons and enjoy their unique benefits!

the forests around franklin are a perfect example of the temperature seasonal/deciduous forest biome, where we can observe distinct seasonal changes as seen here. this biome is especially notable because it’s where we humans live! @franklinlorax #apeseco

@sabri_sino @franklinlorax We're pretty fortunate to live in a temperate forest where we can experience all of the seasons! Definitely agree with u on this one!
