Niaz and I have started to be more conscious about what we throw away that we could recycle. This small change can reduce landfills! #apeswaste@franklinlorax
The activity we did in class taught me what goes in recycling, compost, or trash. Now I know to recycle this bottle after i’m done with it. Thanks Mr. Gain! @franklinlorax#apeswaste
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!!)
fresh snow is a good example of high albedo because it reflects up to 95% of the incoming radiation. it’s april 14 wisconsin... we shouldn’t be seeing snow right now :( #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
Snow has a high albedo. It reflects 95% of incoming radiation from the sun, making it difficult to see while driving at times. Luckily, Holly and I made it to school without crashing:/ @franklinlorax#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
Tymek pole vaulted 1.425 stories. Rather than use an elevator powerd by electricity which is produced by coal (that realeses CO2, sulfur, and other pulltants), Tymek could just pole vault. Tymek is green energy. @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
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
crude oil is the main component making gasoline for most care on the road. scientists estimate we only have ~50 years of it left if we consume at the rates see are now. reusable energy is the future!! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
