When I visited the Recycling plant in Milwaukee I learned that most recyclables are sorted and bundled into large, heavy cubes then sent for reuse. 2 of the 3 R’s in one place! #apeswaste@franklinlorax
Kian here after learning about the top garbage waste in landfills being paper he now is making a difference and will recycle all of his school papers from now one. #apeswaste@RuffingA
When workers were creating the high school, they had to make sure the asbestos was gone, because it’s a harmful carcinogen. Otherwise academic marvels such as LJ would not be able to participate in school. @franklinlorax#apesair
Visiting Sendik’s in Franklin taught us a ton about how stores that have large amounts of food waste have been using the ‘Grind2Energy’ resource to produce energy that then goes to the grid. Check out this video of the grinding in action! @franklinlorax#APESEnergy
This energy that is used in the school for lighting, and majorly everything, is from a coal powerplant that is burned and converted to energy for us. @franklinlorax#apesenergy
This is my sink. It's Pretty cool. But it would be way cooler if it had an anaerobic digester, to turn all of our food scraps into energy!

Farmers in Wisconsin need to use various strategies and crop layouts in order to avoid losing their great crop to things like outbreak and erosion! Here is a corn field in upper wisconsin that uses some of the strategies that thousands of farmers use! @franklinlorax#APESLand
In our apes lab, we learned that particle size has an effect on porosity, permeability, and water retention. With such big rocks, like the ones in my backyard, we would expect a high porosity and high permeability however a low water retention. #apesland@franklinlorax
Orange peels and other fruit peels make for great organic material that can break down over time and turn into compost that makes for great soil when growing new crops! #APESLand@franklinlorax
Teddy has a planned diet every day that ensures that he doesn’t over consume like most Americans on a day to day bases. This lowers he Eco footprint. #apespop@franklinlorax
