When I am throwing away paper, I put it in the recycling bin so it can be reused in the future! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

@AH511299apes @franklinlorax It's always important to dispose of batteries correctly so we can reduce the amount of toxic metal in soil. Great job!

Our chromebooks are one example of E-waste! Instead of our school giving us new ones each year, we reuse the same one for all of our years of schooling! This is very beneficial as it reduces e-waste which reduces a lot of toxic waste! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@StauberNatalie @franklinlorax It's always important to recycle to that we can reduce the amount of garbage that is put into landfills. Great job!

Every year my family goes to Mackinac Island. When there, we have to be very mindful of what we throw away because the island doesn't have a landfill and they charge you for the trash you create. This promotes recycling on the island. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

When we drive, our cars emit gases like NOx, which pollutes our air. This is seen as anthropogenic because it is human caused. With quarantine, we are all driving a lot less which is helping our air quality! @franklinlorax #apesair

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

@AH511299apes @franklinlorax Very true! The decrease in NOx emissions currently is benefiting the environment. It also is decreasing the amount of anthropogenic gases in the atmosphere!

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

@Regan83232451 @franklinlorax So true! The less anthropogenic gases in the atmosphere the better. Good job!

[Bree Barto APES @BB507641apes]

Staying home has caused ppl to drive less, reducing carbon emissions. However, more ppl are running/walking so they are releasing CO2 into the atmosphere themselves. But, this is better for the environment than driving as less greenhouse gases are emitted. #apesair @franklinlorax

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

Quarantine has caused less cars to be on the roads and less NOx emissions. This also has caused less anthropogenic greenhouse gases to be in the atmosphere! #apesair @franklinlorax

@brennan_staude @franklinlorax Unplugging electronics when not in use not only saves the environment but can also save your family money on their electricity bill. Great work!!

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

@StauberNatalie @franklinlorax Unplugging unused electronics saves you money and also saves the environment! The less electricity used the less fossil fuels will be burned which reduces the amount of carbon emissions!

one way i conserve or save energy is by turning off lights, tvs, and unnecessary things plugged in that can save or conserve energy! if everyone does this we can save so much energy! @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[maddie villwock @villwockm_apes]

Sometimes I like to turn off my lights in my room so the natural light can filter in my which means shutting off coal powered lights and conserving energy! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

Smoke stacks like this one produces CO2 emissions, which can be harmful to the environment. There are many alternative types of energy that can be used that do not produce CO2 emissions, such as hydropower. The less emissions the better! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

@ApesRylee @franklinlorax This is also a great example of smart growth! Having houses and everday services close together has many benefits for not only residents but also the environment!

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

@RodeMckenzie @franklinlorax Because so many trees are used it is important to practice sustainable forestry and not clear cut forests. This way we can have trees to prouduce paper forever!

[Ava Pugh @AvaPugh17]

In order to have sustainable forestry practices, it is important to not harvest all trees at once. If only certain trees are harvested there will be time for them to grow back before being harvested again and harvesting can continue forever! @franklinlorax #apesland

@StauberNatalie @franklinlorax Overconsumption and overnourishment are just as much of a risk as undernourishment or malnourishment. It is important to have a balanced diet that will provide you with the right nutrition to live a healthy life! Great job!

@EmilyKrohn6 Very true! Bikes are a great way to travel shorter distances with no ecological impact. They also can be very fun to ride around town! Great Job!
