@RuffingA What a difference he is making

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

@ZakKlug @franklinlorax Noice

Sir Grantavious Hemingsworth is being a jolly ol’ soul by recycling his Arnie Palmy can. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@DNackel @franklinlorax Now aren’t you just so insightful 🧐

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

@mu505894 @franklinlorax Absolutely wild 😜

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

@ZakKlug @franklinlorax Sick nasty 🤢

2019 is actually an El Niño year, meaning that the US should be having warmer temperatures than normal due to the trade winds not upwelling cold water. Wisconsin, however, is not getting any of that warmth with the snow in the middle of April @franklinlorax #apesair

Today in Franklin the air quality index is good at 28 with the main pollutant as PM2.5. Tomorrow's air quality index will be good as well, but the main pollutant will be ozone. Let's keep up the good air quality! #apesair @franklinlorax

In this lab, we combined CO2 and H2O, which are the same chemicals that cause ocean acidification. It was really interesting to see how the pH of water changes when it is mixed with carbon dioxide, the most prominent greenhouse gas in our atmosphere. @franklinlorax #apesair

The cars at this gas station are filling up just to emit harmful gases into the air. Now ain’t that a rootin tooting shame. #apesair @franklinlorax

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 Sick

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

@DNackel @franklinlorax Noice

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

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

This light is powered by coal. Now ain’t that just dandy!!! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@EthanVillwock @franklinlorax Sick plant homie.

@JT505759apes @franklinlorax That’s is some good looking grass.

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
