every time I leave my house I make sure to turn off all of the lights since they use electricity, this helps save energy and reduce my carbon footprint. #apesenergy@franklinlorax
Opening up windows on nice days can be extremely beneficial. You can save energy by not turning on an air conditioner and you can get fresh air around your home. #apesenergy@franklinlorax
Coffee can be a good source of caffeine. However, it can be deadly if you drink too much. The LD-50 of caffeine is about 200 mg/k. You should never have 50 cups of coffee in 24 hours.
It is estimated that up to 55% of the veggies we eat contain at least one GM trait. Some of the benefits of GMOs are less use of pesticides, less cost and higher yields. #apespop@franklinlorax
The USA has the third largest population in the world. Many of those people rely on cars to get around and is number 3 for most cars per 1,000 people. Like many others in the US, people use cars to get to high school increasing carbon footprint. @franklinlorax#apespop
By carpooling, I can reduce the number of cars on the road, which in turn reduces the number of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. My car also has great gas mileage which helps reduce my carbon footprint and save money on fuel. #apespop@franklinlorax
The trees in our ecosystem are very important. They help produce oxygen, which we need. They also are a habitat for many species. Without trees, everything will fall apart! #apeseco@franklinlorax
This is my dog Milo. He is an example of a k-strategist. When Milo was able to make babies, he would produce offspring with a female dog. The amount produced would be smaller because they take great care of their young. #apeseco@franklinlorax
Since we live in Wisconsin, we live in the temperate forest biome. We always have to be ready for the weather since we have 4 Well-defined seasons. Summers are warm and winters are cold with snowfall.

Impervious surfaces such as streets and driveways cause run-off that can harm our bodies of water. Run-off picks up fertilizers, dirt, motor oils, and other pollutants that contaminate our waters.

@mjplovesapes@franklinlorax Wetlands are super important to the environment so I'm glad you are doing this. They act like natural filters which help clean water and improve water quality. They also provide a habit for many organisms!
