#APESwaste @franklinlorax My family is growing a bigger garden this year and this will result in less waste from packaged store bought items

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Great job recycling!

[maddie villwock @villwockm_apes]

my family and i try our best to recycle as much as we can in order to avoid throwing out reusable items. this takes the most energy but is still a way to keep biodegradable & recyclable objects out of the landfills!!! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

This is a great way to reduce the amount of waste we produce!

[madison eberle @fhsmadison]

you should always choose to drink out of reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones because a plastic bottle can take up to 1,000 years to completely degrade. by drinking out of reusable water bottles it will reduce the amount of plastic used! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

O3 can be dangerous!

[madison eberle @fhsmadison]

we live in the troposphere also called the “bad ozone” because of all the pollutants we produce near the ground. #apesair @franklinlorax

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

High and low pressure systems cause this!

[maddie villwock @villwockm_apes]

All weather occurs in the troposphere which is the layer we live in. The seasons we experience are caused by the tilt of the Earths axis. I’m sick of this 30 degree weather and can’t wait till it’s summer weather!! @franklinlorax #apesair

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Wisconsin weather is unpredictable because we fluctuate between high and low pressure @franklinlorax #apesair

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

This is a great way to save energy!

[Brennan Staude @brennan_staude]

I always make sure to unplug chords that are not being used around my house. I try to unplug chords as much as possible to save energy, because burning coal for electricity increases air pollutants! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Good for you!

[alexi.thorpe @AlexiThorpe]

After doing some of the labs I realized that keeping thing plugged into the outlets uses a lot of energy and can cost a lot of money so I have started to unplug the outlets if they don’t need to be used so I save more energy #apesenergy @franklinlorax

The light outside my garage is LED, one of the most efficient lights. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

It’s important we keep sustainability in mind

[Ryanne Strausbaugh @RyanneStrausba1]

Many things in homes nowadays are made up of wood so it is important that we use sustainable logging methods so we can keep using wood in our homes. #apesland @franklinlorax

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Rocks are very diverse!

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Every drug we use is tested to find out how toxic the product is in large amounts #apesland @franklinlorax

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

This is a good way to ensure all students have a place to live!

[maddie villwock @villwockm_apes]

My brother is in college living in a residence hall, which over 90% of the freshman class in Madison live in! These include resources, support and convenient services! This is a very good way to save space in Madison and hold many students! @franklinlorax #apespop

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Great effort to protect the environment!

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Recycling is a simple but effective way to reduce your carbon footprint. Many Americans don’t recycle nearly as much as they could. @franklinlorax #apespop

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

So thankful that humans raise their young!

[Bree Barto APES @BB507641apes]

Everyone in my family is a k-strategist! My mom had only one kid at a time caring about the quality of each of us, where as a r-strategist would have had many youngs and not worried about their quality! shoutout to my mama for caring and nurturing us! @franklinlorax #apeseco

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Great observation!

[Leslie Rapp @leslierapp_fhs]

George and Rudy may look very different in size, but they are both the same species! Due to random mutations and breeding, George’s genetic composition gave him short legs, while Rudy’s gave him long legs #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

The tree in my front yard is an ash tree which is susceptible to invasive species such as emerald ash bore. @franklinlorax #apeseco

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

Great observation!

[Allista Karbouski @allista_16]

Most people in Franklin get their water from Lake Michigan. In my case, I get my water like most people in the U.S., from groundwater. My house has a shared well dug underneath my backyard, which is where I get my water from. #apeswater @franklinlorax

[Laurel Wegerbauer @LWegerbauer]

This is a great, simple way to reduce the amount of plastic in our ocean!

[Brenn Maz @brenna_maz]

To help save our waters I use a reusable water bottle. My water bottle is a gallon. Throughout the day I only drink out of this so it is reducing the amount of plastic that is being wasted and thrown away into our water streams.
