@ColeGentz @franklinlorax hopefully after learning so much about landfills and waste, you recycled that plastic bottle #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Although we put both plastic and food scraps into landfills willingly, plastic takes much more time to break down than food scraps. It can even take upwards to hundreds of years to break down certain plastic products. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@ak505878apes @franklinlorax i had never even noticed these compost bins before! great observation #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Instead of throwing away things like banana peels and apple cores in the garbage to be taken to a landfill, Mr. Gain created compost bins in his classroom for the nutrients to be recycled. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

there are two types of people in this world... those who use plastic water bottles and those who use reusable one. around 35 billion plastic water bottles are recycled a year contributing to land and water pollution. #apeswaste @franklinlorax (p.s. brook played great tonight!!)

@HS514096apes gravel like this at the bottom of the fish tank, is used at the bottom of landfills! This helps pool all of the water in the landfill in one place for the monitoring wells to suck out! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

The Carchesi household has a different bin for recyclables so we don’t throw them out with our regular trash and take up room in landfills; this way they can be reused to make more products! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@AS515991apes @franklinlorax reusable water bottles as cute as this one are both fashionable and environmentally conscious! great job :-) #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Instead of using plastic water bottles I use a reusable one; which reduces the amount of plastic waste going into the landfills!! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

while recycling is a good habit to get into, it’s also sadly the least efficient and sustainable of the 3 r’s, since it takes energy to process the recycled materials. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@FHSgirlssoccer_ shares a bus so we don’t have to drive separately. By doing so, it reduces our CO2 emissions. @franklinlorax #apesair

Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless gas that is very dangerous. Thankfully my basement doesn’t have any, not putting me at risk for lung cancer since radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer @franklinlorax #apesair

Brenna and I carpool to Innovative once or twice a week in order to save on gas (and save the environment!) @franklinlorax #apesair

Karissa tried holding her breath for two minutes to reduce CO2 emissions!! #apesair @franklinlorax

Snow has a high albedo because it reflects up to 95% of incoming radiation! #apesair @franklinlorax

@JS506347apes @franklinlorax radon is definitely scary, it’s a good thing you have something like this to keep you and your family safe!! #apesair

@nathant60219324 @franklinlorax lead is a harmful neurotoxin, so it’s definitely a good idea to be careful when disposing of technology with lead batteries! #apesair

Lead can be found in batteries. That’s why disposal of technology can be difficult. We don’t want more lead getting into our atmosphere. @franklinlorax #apesair

@angiecarchesiAP @franklinlorax it’s too bad we have to see snow and its high albedo in april, though :-( #apesair

Ocean Acidification makes it harder for calcifying organisms to produce shells and corals. Shells, such as these, are becoming thinner and more fragile. @franklinlorax #apesair

“Pull my finger!!” A typical fart contains 59% nitrogen... betcha didn’t know that ;) #apesair @franklinlorax

@AS515991apes @franklinlorax that’s awesome! carpooling with friends is environmentally conscious and more fun than going alone #apesair

my family and i are staying in the dells this weekend! :-) it was a pretty long car ride, so we unfortunately put a lot of NOX into the atmosphere. however, we all took one car rather than separate cars so at least we reduced our impact! @franklinlorax #apesair
