This is a good way to help dispose of e-waste properly

[alyssa @Alyssa_FHS_APES]

My family turns in our old phones when we buy new ones so that they can be disposed of properly. #APESwaste @franklinlorax

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

It’s a good thing to recycle plastic waste in order to prevent these problems

[Kaumudh Sinde @KS506439apes]

This plastic water bottle is an example of plastic waste. Plastic debris clogs up landfills, blocks drains, pollutes waterways and contributes to biodiversity loss. It is important to recycle plastic in order to avoid such problems. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

The school provides us with Chromebooks. If we were to dispose of these, it would be considered e-waste so we would have to properly dispose of them in order to prevent any damage being done. @franklinlorax #APESwaste

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

This is very interesting to think about considering how much we drive. Nice Lorax card

[Nick Burroughs @NickBurroughs17]

Its important to recognize how our driving habits effect the environment. CO2, CO, and NO are are increasing in the atmosphere the more we drive. #apesair @franklinlorax

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

I think we take our clean air for advantage

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

It was a rainy day today. Weather occurs in the trophosphere which is the same layer of atmosphere that we live in. It’s also where there is bad ozone as well as where planes fly. @franklinlorax #apesair

Normally people don’t think to do this but it can be very helpful by bringing bills down and reducing the amount of energy you’re using.

[Ahmad Ahmad @Aa513439apes]

A good way to save money and energy is to unplug any unnecessary items that are plugged in. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

This is a very cool way to save energy!

[Kaumudh Sinde @KS506439apes]

At my house, we use an electric stove which is a “heavy-draw appliance.” This means it uses quite a lot of power (1500 watts per hour). In order to conserve energy, my family reduces their overall cook time. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

I drive a Ford Fusion hybrid. This is very energy efficient because it’s part electric so it doesn’t use as much gas as other cars do. It’s better for the environment because there are less CO2 emissions than a lot other cars. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

This is a great example of an area that was changed by human by destroying nature to further benefit themselves.

[LukeRaduenzAPES @RaduenzLuke]

When I was younger, this land by my house use to be full of trees, bodies of water, and vegetation. A bit less than a decade ago the trees were cut down and the land was turned into practice fields for Franklin High School, limiting trees in the area. 🌲 @franklinlorax #apesland

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

Good example of how we use wood today!

[Shaun Wu @KungWuhoo]

My desk is made of wood, which comes from trees. The paper is also based on wood. These items are very useful in everyday life but they come at the cost if cutting down many trees.

#apesland @franklinlorax

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

My table and chair is made out of wood. This along with flooring and other furniture is a big reason why we log. This helps the business keep growing. @franklinlorax #apesland

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

@RaduenzLuke @franklinlorax This is a nice way to reduce your ecological footprint!

[LukeRaduenzAPES @RaduenzLuke]

One of the largest components of my ecological footprint was the amount of processed meats and other products as such I consumed. I’m trying to consume more locally grown fruits and vegetables to replace the meaty meals I am eating and reduce my footprint @franklinlorax #apespop

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

@GackJardner @franklinlorax I agree! The pool does have a carrying capacity so it doesn’t get too crowded. That way it’s more enjoyable for spectators.

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

I turn off the water when I brush my teeth so I don’t waste as much. Hopefully this helps reduce my ecological footprint! @franklinlorax #apespop

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

This is very interesting how the fire is needed in order to help spread the seeds of this pine cone!

[Ahmad Ahmad @Aa513439apes]

*FOREST FIRES ARE NOT ALWAYS BAD!* In fact one of the main roles of a pine cone is to open up and spread seeds. However, some pine cones such as the Jack Pine develop a serotinous cone. These are Pine cones that can need fire to open up and spread seeds #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

@RaduenzLuke @franklinlorax Unfortunately we live in a temperate deciduous forest. Because of this we have to experience the cold winter time.

[LukeRaduenzAPES @RaduenzLuke]

Franklin Wisconsin is a temperate deciduous forest biome, since we experience 4 different seasons in a year. We are currently in the winter season, which is the coldest out of the four. Hopefully spring season weather is right around the corner ☃️ ❄️ @franklinlorax #apeseco

[Adam St John @AdamStJohn10]

Gus is a Yellow Labrador. He’s just one in many animals of an ecosystem. If he were a wild animal we would probably be similar to that of the wolf and coyote. He might feed on small animals which could potentially make him a tertiary consumer #apeseco @franklinlorax
