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

@DNackel @franklinlorax This is Avery good point drew. It’s are the little things that really matter in the end

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

During a lacrosse game Ethan and Matt tend to produce more carbon dioxide because they are out of breath #apesair @franklinlorax

@mu505894 @franklinlorax They must have to get in shape. This is a great example of your learning this unit.

The catalytic converter in my car is one of the many steps that we as a society are taking to limit our greenhouse gas emissions. #apesair @franklinlorax

@JT505759apes @franklinlorax I hope soon we won’t have to use coal around our area for energy source. The emissions from the coal can be very dirty for our atmosphere.

Lights like this one in Mr. Gain’s classroom, are powered through coal! Without this sedimentary rock, the lights we use on a Daily basis would not exist. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@CW507015apes @franklinlorax This is a awesome step that I think many business should move towards. Working at a business that waste a lot of their food as well these are the types of things that will save us in the long run.

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

Speakers are great for parties and hanging. The energy they use is taken from an outlet and the outlet gets its energy from a coal powerplant. Consistent Energy is important to keep all of our electronics powered. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

This fluorescent light bulb is one of the many steps that my family has taken to save energy. It’s the small things that matter in the long run to saving energy, and minimizing green house gas emissions. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

@JT505759apes @franklinlorax This is very true. Allowing grass enough water and sun light also has a huge part in this as well.

The way we treat the land, and soil we live on is important in making the grass as green as Oakwood golf course in this picture. @franklinlorax #apesland

@CW507015apes @franklinlorax Because of all of these great gamers they are able to preserve the nutrients in our amazing soils.

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

Many of the products from produce come from farmers and plantations. Many of the plantations use strip cropping to prevent erosion of the soil @franklinlorax #apesland

@MM505699apes @franklinlorax Eating high amounts of nutrients and natural food will fill your stomach more. This will cause you to eat less, thus reducing overconsumption.

tanner is eating a snack with no preservatives, a healthy choice with only 140 calories to fill him up before lunch. #apespop @franklinlorax

If everyone became vegetarian we could feed 10 times more people on Earth. We would become primary consumers instead of secondary consumers increasing the amount of energy we intake. #apespop @franklinlorax

@JT505759apes @franklinlorax This is very true. Overconsumption is one of the main threats to the longevity of the human population!

We cannot have a sustainable planet without stabilizing the population first. Food and resources like these black berries are very important to a healthy lifestyle. The average American uses well more resources than what they actually need! @franklinlorax #apespop

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

@NathanRiniker @franklinlorax That this is huge. He is important for keeping aquatic food pyramid in order

This snapping turtle is a r-selective species, meaning that it will have many offspring but only a handful will survive. @franklinlorax #apesecology
