When you are looking up into the air you are sometimes able to see an airplane fly by. Airplanes fly in the troposphere which is the lowest part of the atmosphere.

The light pollution from Milwaukee makes the night stars hard to see. Also, the clouds out tonight are made up of water vapor. #apesair @franklinlorax

Since I live in Franklin, this light is being powered by a coal fire plant. The coal is burned to heat up water which turns into steam, which flows into a turbine, which turns a generator, producing electricity. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

Leaving my chromebook unplugged when it has a full battery saves energy. This is because less watts are being used when it is not plugged in. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

These 2 lovely plants are grouped together when it comes to soil! :) Both do not like standing water so permeable soil is best. We treat both plants with a bit of miracle growth as well (a 15-30-15 fertilizer) #apesland @franklinlorax

@KM508441apes @franklinlorax Good observation, I have trees in backyard similar to yours.

[Kyle Kocourek @KM508441apes]

These trees behind my forest are very important for the environment! If they were to be chopped down using the clear cutting method, we would see more erosion in our backyard and there would be less oxygen admitted into the atmosphere. @franklinlorax #apesland

[Colin Jones @ColinTheSaber]

These rocks in my backyard have their own unique porosity, permeability, and water retention because of their size and spacing. #apesland @franklinlorax

During lunch I buy a recyclable bottle so it can be remade into other bottles, therefore reducing my carbon footprint. @franklinlorax #apespop

[Vj517073APES @VincentJanisze2]

Although at the moment it is under about a foot and a half of snow, one way that my family reduces our ecological footprint is through maintaining a small garden in our backyard. This helps reduce carbon emissions from food transportation. #apespop @franklinlorax

[Colin Jones @ColinTheSaber]

Using reusable water bottles reduce plastic usage which reduces my carbon footprint. #apespop @franklinlorax

@MF508412Apes @franklinlorax Dogs are a great example of a K-strategist

@DE512421apes @franklinlorax Good job recognizing that Wisconsin's biome has all 4 seasons

[Daniel Emard @DE512421apes]

#apeseco @franklinlorax Even though right now it is very cold outside, we Wisconites can enjoy all 4 seasons of the year. Winter, summer, fall, and spring all happen here in Franklin.

[Samuel Dudor @DudorSamuel]

This is my dog, Emmett. He is 4 years old and is a k-strategist. Dogs like Emmett produce few offspring nurturing them until they grow self-reliant. Unlike r-strategists who have offspring for quantity, k-strategists care for their offspring. #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Colin Jones @ColinTheSaber]

Living in Wisco means all 4 seasons with chilly winters and hot summers, elements of a temperate seasonal forest. #apeseco @franklinlorax

@DudorSamuel @franklinlorax Impervious surfaces are important for the run-off systems, and this is a good strategy to help save water.

[Colin Jones @ColinTheSaber]

@PeddamalluRahul @franklinlorax True, this saves water and also decreases your water bill.

[Jack Eberle @JackEberleAPES]

Turn off the water every time your done using the sink to help avoid a possible water crisis! #apeswater @franklinlorax

[Colin Jones @ColinTheSaber]

True, this saves water in generaland also decreases your water bill.

[Rahul Peddamallu @PeddamalluRahul]

You can reduce you household water usage by turning off the water when it’s not needed @franklinlorax #apeswater
