You can compost most plant based food waste, including pizza boxes! #apeswaste

Reducing is the best option in reduce, reuse, recycle! #apeswaste

Have you noticed the brown bags at the end of driveways around Franklin? That’s because Franklin collects residential brush and leaves waste four times a year. Make sure to use paper compostable yard bags! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

At least exhaling CO2 doesn’t produce NOx like car emissions! #apesair @franklinlorax

The carbonic acid formed when CO2 combines with water doesn’t allow CaCO3 to form the shells! #apesair @franklinlorax

@FranklinSabers We make sure to clean up after our dogs to keep our parks healthy! Happy earth day! #GainFHSAPES #EarthDay2020

Happy #EarthDay2020 Sabers! Let’s make this planet a little bit better today. Share a photo of you doing something good for the Earth!

Naturally occurring stratospheric ozone protects us from harmful UV radiation. But because CFCs destroy the stratospheric ozone, we are left exposed to the UV radiation and have to wear sunscreen to stay safe from the sun @franklinlorax #apesair

Especially since we are home so much right now, this is a great way to reduce your energy usage! #apesenergy

Playing outside is an awesome way to reduce energy usage! Even though we don’t realize it, just by being inside we are likely using lights, chargers, and entertainment systems. #apesenergy

Car engines use gasoline made from crude oil which releases toxic pollutants when burned. But, because we aren’t driving as much, we are using less gas so there are less car emissions. At least there are some environmental benefits from self isolation! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

Good thing sodas have a high LD50 value so that you can drink 150 cans before it kills you!

Once the snow begins to melt, it will flow quicker through the gravel than smaller rocks because of its high porosity!

Even though our textbooks use a lot of paper and “kill trees,” if forestry is practiced sustainably, then we can continue to make paper books for forever! #apesland @franklinlorax

Trail mix is a great snack with carbs, proteins, and fats to prevent malnutrition and give you energy for tennis! @franklinlorax #apespop

Pro athletes like Giannis need lots of protein to help build and repair their muscle tissue! @franklinlorax #apespop

If you are deciding what food to pack for a trip, remember to pack a balanced diet with a variety of food types to prevent malnutrition. Even though protein bars can meet your caloric and protein needs, making a trail mix can help to balance your diet! @franklinlorax #apespop

Invasive species can be very harmful to the survival of natural species. We have to make sure to protect against these invasive species like the emerald ash bore! @franklinlorax #apeseco

Luckily, humans and other K strategists follow the logistic growth model so that their population levels off once they have reached the carrying capacity of their environment. That's why it is important for our moms to care for us to help us survive! @franklinlorax #apeseco

George and Rudy may look very different in size, but they are both the same species! Due to random mutations and breeding, George’s genetic composition gave him short legs, while Rudy’s gave him long legs #apeseco @franklinlorax

We are lucky to receive our drinking water from the Oak Creek water treatment facility where it is cleaned and treated to make it safe for drinking! #apeswater @franklinlorax
