After I finish drinking this water I can refill it, instead of throwing it away which can reduce the amount of plastic in landfills! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

@MS504844apes @franklinlorax Smart thinking, we can also do this with many other things like paper or cardboard

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

@TS509485apes @franklinlorax New technology can reduce the amount of paper in landfills but might also create more e-waste!

Did you know that 55% of all waste that is produced in the US goes into sanitary landfills? These landfills not only take up space, but also produce leachate which has the potential to contaminate water sources #apeswaste @franklinlorax

After finishing this drink, the aluminum in this can be close loop recycled to make new soda cans #apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

Paper is the #1 component in landfills in the US. Let’s try and reduce this number by reduce reuse and recycling ♻️ #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Cars emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides that contribute to acid rain, smog formation, and the greenhouse gas effect #apesair @franklinlorax

[Molly Schwamb @MS504844apes]

While driving, our cars emit carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide which are GHGs, that contribute to global warming. Thankfully our cars have catalytic converters that try to make these less harmful! @franklinlorax #apesair

@tk508704apes @GF513311apes @franklinlorax Reducing the amount of pollutants that are human caused will make an impact to reduce acid rain, carpool, save energy, and recycle!

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

@AD505313apes @franklinlorax That’s why we need to start carpooling more to reduce the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere.

Snow has the highest albedo which means that sunlight will reflect off of the snow and be put back into the atmosphere, blacktops however have a very low albedo. #apesair @franklinlorax

My house uses LED light bulbs rather than CFL bulbs or incandescent bulbs. LED’s have a lower wattage/higher efficiency helping save energy and money! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@ameliaj_klein @MS504844apes @franklinlorax Although it might cause deforestation it’s used by a lot of lesser developed countries.

[Taylor Schaefer @TS509485apes]

It’s crazy to think that oil and natural gas come from ocean organisms! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

@EF510414apes @franklinlorax I agree! Learning about the different types of ways to produce energy was helpful in knowing if or how they harm the environment.

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

Unplug electronics when you are not using them, it will save lots of energy that gets used everyday in the US! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

after watching the video about land use I learned how urban sprawl is mainly an issue in the United States due to the fact the cities in the US formed later than those in Europe and the US had an increase in highway structure #apesland

[Gretchen Fischer @GF513311apes]

Was super cool to learn about mining and everything involved with reclamation and what goes on during the process. Even cooler to see just how oxidation occurs through this lab! #apesland @franklinlorax

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

@AS505651apes @franklinlorax Hopefully not too much or else that can lead to flooding, water reservoirs such as ponds are perfect incase this occurs!

[Annie Cerpich @AC504824apes]

@JM505029apes @TS509485apes @franklinlorax I agree, water reservoirs are great for rainy days in your subdivision but also a habitat for many species!
