My family does this too! It’s important to recycle as much as you can!

[Jacob Wied @JacobWied1]

When we finish cans of soda in our house, we throw them away in our recycling bin. This helps to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfills and incinerators. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

That is a very good use for old devices and to help not contribute to e-waste!

[Olivia Paulos @OP507578ape]

My family doesn't throw out electronics, even if they are old and don't work well. Instead, we use them as alarm clocks! If we were to throw them out, the e-waste would be harmful to the environment! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

My family and I like to recycle as much as we can, whether it be reusing food containers or getting paper bags at the grocery store, we try to minimize our landfill waste as much as possible! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

We live in the troposphere. Weather also occurs here! It just rained a little, but I'm glad that it wasn't snow. Snow is albedo, which makes it reflective. Thanks to the tilting of the Earth, we are now starting to get warmer weather and less snow! #apesair @franklinlorax

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@OP507578ape @franklinlorax very informative! I think it is very interesting that the tilt of the Earth determines our seasons!

because of the extended stay at home order, our car has barely left our garage! which is good because there’s less NOx being emitted from all of the cars, including our own. @franklinlorax #apesair

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@apes_omangan @franklinlorax that’s awesome! We should find ways to use our cars less in normal everyday life too!

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@DThund3r @FranklinSabers @franklinlorax no... we always feed the birds

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

The Clean Air Act of 1970 put emissions limits on air pollutants like the ones emitted by cars. Catalytic converters help to reduce the amount of CO and NO2 emissions our cars emit. @franklinlorax #apesair

This is a great idea, great job conserving energy, maddy!

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

When I’m not using my phone charger, I make sure to unplug it. Even when it isn’t actively being used, keeping it plugged in is wasteful and adds up. Unplugging not only conserves energy but also helps you save money on your electrical bill @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@as507658apes @apeslorax this is such an easy way to make your house more energy efficient! great job!

[alaina snelson @as507658apes]

To keep myself motivated during online school, I drink copious amounts of coffee throughout the day. However, I make sure to always unplug my coffee machine when I’m not using it, which saves a lot of energy #apesenergy @apeslorax

My household could be a lot more energy efficient if we used LED light bulbs instead of incandescent light bulbs. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Sophie Hoffman @SophieH06991554]

My dining room table is made out of pine wood. Lumber is used most for construction materials to make things such as paper and furniture like this. Wood is also used for many other things that we use in everyday life. @franklinlorax #apesland

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@SophieH06991554 @apes_omangan @franklinlorax logging occurs so often for human consumption! so many things in my house are made from wood.

[olivia mangan @apes_omangan]

The effort that goes into the before during and after for financial statements really shows how much thought goes into deciding where areas logging are.Things like habitats and recreational activities are two factors we had to consider in our project @franklinlorax #apesland

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@apes_omangan @franklinlorax I agree, this project was very enlightening!

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

The Quarry in Franklin is used to mine for materials and resources for us to use! #apesland @franklinlorax

[abrielle thome @AT507913apes]

@MS507855apes @franklinlorax That’s good gas mileage, we should be more conscientious about those things when buying cars!
