you should always choose to drink out of reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones because a plastic bottle can take up to 1,000 years to completely degrade. by drinking out of reusable water bottles it will reduce the amount of plastic used! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

A good way to help minimize the amount of waste in landfills is by composting. You can compost items like banana peels and apple cores!! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

we live in the troposphere also called the “bad ozone” because of all the pollutants we produce near the ground. #apesair @franklinlorax

Since quarentine has started I only drive to and from work. Driving less has helped to reduce my ecological footprint and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere #apesair @franklinlorax

@fhsmadison @franklinlorax so smart @franklinlorax #apesenergy

i unplug my chargers from the outlet when i’m not using them because keeping them plugged in consumes energy. it also helps save money! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

Our sunroom has a lot of windows to let in sunlight. When it’s light outside, we can turn the lights off in our house to conserve electricity! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

When I’m not charging my laptop, I like to unplug the charger to save energy! Less energy = less money!! @franklinlorax #apesenergy

With virtual learning taking place and all classes online, I have been charging my chromebook much more frequently which uses up energy. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@ApesDanielle @franklinlorax very insightful!!

New York City displays an example of high density housing because buildings are located very close to eachother whereas in residential locations there is lower density housing because houses aren’t as close together meaning more land is being used. @franklinlorax #apesland

Downtown Milwaukee has a high population density because many people live in close proximity to one another and it is very crowded. A suburb like Franklin has a lower population density because the houses are more spread out and less people live there. #apesland @franklinlorax

If everyone lived the way I do, we would need 4.6 earths. I can reduce my ecological footprint by carpooling to school and practice! @franklinlorax #apespop

Another way to reduce your ecological footprint is to eat more locally-grown food or even carpooling to school! @franklinlorax #apespop

Almond pops are my favorite snack!! SO yummy @franklinlorax #apespop

Summer is the best season #apeseco @franklinlorax

aweee so cute!! An example of r-strategists would be bunnies #apeseco @franklinlorax

Maggie is an r-selected species because dogs breed once or twice in their life and have a larger number of offspring. The offspring don’t require too much parental care before reaching maturity. #apeseco @franklinlorax

Sewage drains help stop rain and snow melt from carrying salt from the roads and into the water. This helps keep living species safe from anything toxic from getting in the water. #apeswater @franklinlorax

Most people in Franklin get their water from Lake Michigan. In my case, I get my water like most people in the U.S., from groundwater. My house has a shared well dug underneath my backyard, which is where I get my water from. #apeswater @franklinlorax

@brenna_maz @franklinlorax I love this idea, it's a great way to stay hydrated throughout the day and not waste plastic water bottles!! @franklinlorax #apeswater

To help save our waters I use a reusable water bottle. My water bottle is a gallon. Throughout the day I only drink out of this so it is reducing the amount of plastic that is being wasted and thrown away into our water streams. @franklinlorax #apeswater
