@ZakKlug @franklinlorax True! Not using more than we need to is better than reducing or reusing! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@LN508005APES @sydneyertl @franklinlorax That’s good. Reducing is the best option though, as it requires the least amount of energy. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

#apeswaste @franklinlorax me and my lad brooke are reusing, and recycling our water bottles so they don’t go to waste!

In e-waste, there are harmful chemicals that need to be recycled properly. Otherwise lead, cadmium and lithium can make there way in our ground water in landfills. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@yurboibrian @franklinlorax Agreed! Although, global warming is erratic weather pattens. This snow is making me sad. #apesair @franklinlorax

Scientific evidence points towards GHGs trapping heat to cause global warming, but snow in april says otherwise! #apesair @franklinlorax

Radon is coming up from the soil all around us, and is mostly prevalent in basements. These radioactive particles damage the cells lining your lungs. Make sure to get your air quality checked! #apesair @franklinlorax

@DNackel @franklinlorax That’s true. Another harmful substance we could breathe in is radon, found in older basements. This could lead to lung cancer. @apeslorax #apesair

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

@SR506342apes @fhsaplucy @franklinlorax Agreed! Although the materials that are needed to make a wind turbine cause a lot of co2 from their transportation @franklinlorax #apesenergy

On a windy day like today, I sure wish I had a wind turbine in my yard. Wind turbines don’t require combustion of fossil fuels such as coal meaning that I won’t pollute harmful emissions that lead to acid rain or greenhouse gases. @franklinlorax #APESEnergy

Daniel and I are on a bus and this bus runs off diesel, which is a crude oil that comes from the ground @franklinlorax #apesenergy

Brian ran a track meet today. He ran very fast. If he would be able to run on a turbine, he would create a lot of energy. Conservation of energy at its finest. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

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

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

@CW507015apes @sydneyertl @franklinlorax Sweet. Perhaps, everyone should have these in their house. More people would eat healthier and save money on their energy bills. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@samirefhsAP @franklinlorax The tree also helps with making the soil more fertile with its organic material (hummus) from the decaying leaves #apesland @franklinlorax

The trees surrounding my house help with controlling the wind and help with the erosion and runoff when it rains! @franklinlorax #apesland

@fhsaplucy @franklinlorax I could agree! The extinctions are very scary, especially the Jurassic one! #apesland @franklinlorax

We are in the middle of the Holocene (6th) mass extinction.... It will be awful to watch if we don’t start doing more to help our globe!! I couldn’t live with my parents, dog and culvers! @franklinlorax #APESLand

This picture was taken in Door County Wisconsin. This are is abundant with deciduous forests, which have very fertile soil because of the decomposition of leaves. #apesland @franklinlorax

As the human population continues to grow, more cars will have to be on the road to supply those humans transportation needs. This could negatively affect the environment with co2 emissions. #apespop @franklinlorax

@TylerStrausbau1 @franklinlorax You should ride your bike around-you would reduce you carbon footprint massively. All you need is some protein bars to keep the bike going. #apespop @franklinlorax

This is big red. Big red is an older truck that doesn’t get the best fuel economy which means when I drive I leave a greater ecological footprint. I could reduce the growth of my ecological foot print by getting a more fuel efficient vehicle. #apespop @franklinlorax

@yurboibrian @margaret_fhsAP @franklinlorax Exactly. Some foods are dense with calories, which gives them a boost of energy. They should probably do something active after. #apespop @franklinlorax

when dealing with food consumption concerns, the U.S is known for overnutrition, which plays into being a factor of our high level of overweight people. @franklinlorax #apespop
