These are the solar panels at my house. We use them mainly to heat water, but also for other electrical purposes. Even though they are costly at first, they save money in the long run and are great for the environment! @vahsapes #apesenergy

This is a pond in my back yard. If water sources like these are maintained well, they can offer extra biodiversity to the environment as they create more habitats! #apeshydro @vahsapes

We have solar panels at my house as well!

Waste can be recycled and reused in so many different ways! Recycling bins like these remind people how to distribute their waste, rather than just throwing it to the landfill. #apeswaste @vahsapes

We can use the triangular soil chart to identify different types of soil based on the percentages of sand, loam, and clay. Just follow the lines that correlate to the numbers. It's easy to use and fun! #apessoil @vahsapes

Pesticides are bad for the environment and can runoff into nearby water beds causing pollution as well as health issues to organisms. Gardens like these are beautiful even without pesticides! #apespest @vahsapes

soil is so important, and most don't realize it even though whenever we walk on the ground, we are most likely walking on soil! Plants like grass and trees need it to grow and survive because it has essential nutrients in it. @vahsapes #apessoil

Soil erosion is the wearing away of topsoil, the top, most fertile layer of soil containing the most organic, nutrient-rich materials. One of the main causes of soil erosion is water erosion. #apessoil @vahsapes

@cf17apes @vahsapes Reusable waters are one of the best ways to help stop pollution! #savetheturtles

Reusable water bottles are a great way to drink fresh water throughout the day while also protecting our oceans and other marine habitats! Plastic water bottles don't break down and can harm animals who try to eat them #apesaqua @vahsapes

Waterfalls increase dissolved oxygen levels in rivers and lakes. Dissolved oxygen benefits the water quality of bodies of water and helps aerobic organisms thrive within those bodies of water! @vahsapes #apesaqua

Waves and storms degrade our beaches daily, trash left on beaches can be swept out to sea and harm or injure marine life. Keep our beaches clean and well kept, leaving the beach you should have everything you brought with you. #apesbio @vahsapes

Having a small body of water on your property can be very good for the environment. If you keep up with it and make sure it is healthy, it can be a great way to provide a habitat or a source of water for any creatures around. #apesbio @vahsapes

Fishing in marshes in order to get an idea of the biodiversity of the world around us! Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity by giving all species an important role to play. @vahsapes #apesbio
