I agree! By using a reusable water bottle you’re reducing the amount of plastic waste that goes into landfills

[alaina snelson @as507658apes]

Using a reusable water bottle is a great way to use the three R’s! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

Plastic/single use bags are so convenient to use and it’s easy to forget that they’re damaging to the environment. Good job using reuseable containers!

[olivia mangan @apes_omangan]

my family uses SO many reusable containers to put our leftovers/snacks/etc into, instead of using single use containers/bags. this cuts down the amount of plastic waste we are adding to landfills #APESwaste @franklinlorax

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

Whenever we can, my family uses reusable water bottles rather than plastic ones. This helps reduce plastic waste and keeps the environment cleaner! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@OP507578ape @franklinlorax As we enter the summer season, due to the tilt of the earth, the Southern Hemisphere will be entering its winter season. It’s very interesting to think about!

@AT507913apes @franklinlorax Catalytic converters are super beneficial to the environment! Because we rely on car transportation so much, it’s important that there are tools that help reduce emissions

[Olivia Paulos @OP507578ape]

We live in the troposphere. Weather also occurs here! It just rained a little, but I'm glad that it wasn't snow. Snow is albedo, which makes it reflective. Thanks to the tilting of the Earth, we are now starting to get warmer weather and less snow! #apesair @franklinlorax

[olivia mangan @apes_omangan]

because of the extended stay at home order, our car has barely left our garage! which is good because there’s less NOx being emitted from all of the cars, including our own. @franklinlorax #apesair

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

Because of the stay-at-home order, I’ve been driving a lot less and biking more to keep occupied. This is a much cleaner form of transportation and helps to improve air quality! @franklinlorax #apesair

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

@FranklinSabers Happy earth day! I use a reusable water bottle rather than plastic ones to help keep the environment clean and reduce plastic waste:) #GainFHSAPES

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

Great job staying energy-conscious while getting yourself through the day!

[alaina snelson @as507658apes]

To keep myself motivated during online school, I drink copious amounts of coffee throughout the day. However, I make sure to always unplug my coffee machine when I’m not using it, which saves a lot of energy #apesenergy @apeslorax

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

This is super cool and beneficial for the environment! It seems very convenient to use and is a simple way to conserve energy

[Olivia Paulos @OP507578ape]

My family has a Nest Thermostat, which is very energy efficient! It automatically decreases the temp in our house at night, which saves money and energy. It also connects to our phones so we can adjust it from anywhere! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

When I’m not using my phone charger, I make sure to unplug it. Even when it isn’t actively being used, keeping it plugged in is wasteful and adds up. Unplugging not only conserves energy but also helps you save money on your electrical bill @franklinlorax #apesenergy

The Quarry in Franklin is used to mine for materials and resources for us to use! #apesland @franklinlorax

[Emma Scholl @ES510497APES]

So many important things in my house were made out of wood. There are doors, tables, etc that were made from some type of wood & the trees that were used for these play a huge role in our eco system and should be harvested with sustainability in mind #apesland @franklinlorax

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

I think we often underestimate how many different minerals make up rocks (like granite) and how rocks are actually very prevalent in our daily lives. It’s neat to see these examples in our own homes

[Olivia Paulos @OP507578ape]

As mentioned in our mining notesheet, rocks are substances made up of multiple minerals and trace organic material. Granite, as shown in this picture, contains many minerals and is a perfect example of a rock. @franklinlorax #apesland

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

Our map project helped me realize how many considerations are involved when logging, it’s something I never would’ve thought of before!

[olivia mangan @apes_omangan]

The effort that goes into the before during and after for financial statements really shows how much thought goes into deciding where areas logging are.Things like habitats and recreational activities are two factors we had to consider in our project @franklinlorax #apesland

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

When my parents moved to franklin, the area was very rural and there was a lot of vegetation. As land consumption increased, the number of trees began to decrease and now trees are limited @franklinlorax #apesland

[alaina snelson @as507658apes]

My dad is a vegetarian. Consuming animal products encourages the release of methane into the environment, so my dad is definitely doing his part and reducing his ecological footprint! @franklinlorax #apespop

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

@OP507578ape @franklinlorax Planting your own food takes a lot of effort, but super beneficial to the earth! It’s super rewarding to you as well as the environment

[Maddy Schultz @MS507855apes]

@AT507913apes @franklinlorax This is a small, yet super efficient and easy way to reduce our ecological footprint! We wouldn’t have to change a big part of our lifestyle to make these choices
