Although most of our school work is now online, a lot of our teachers still hand out paper assignments. Today, paper counts for over 41% of our landfills and the US only recycles 25% of our paper consumption. @franklinlorax#apeswaste
Cars release many harmful gases into the atmosphere, including CO2. These emissions increase greenhouse gases that scientists say are leading to global warming because it prevents heat from escaping the atomsphere. @franklinlorax#apesair
This is my sink. It's Pretty cool. But it would be way cooler if it had an anaerobic digester, to turn all of our food scraps into energy!

Visiting Sendik’s in Franklin taught us a ton about how stores that have large amounts of food waste have been using the ‘Grind2Energy’ resource to produce energy that then goes to the grid. Check out this video of the grinding in action! @franklinlorax#APESEnergy
On a windy day like today, I sure wish I had a wind turbine in my yard. Wind turbines don’t require combustion of fossil fuels such as coal meaning that I won’t pollute harmful emissions that lead to acid rain or greenhouse gases. @franklinlorax#APESEnergy
@baumgardtjoey@franklinlorax Very good example of how clear cutting can have an affect on biodiversity. Maybe instead we should do selective cutting methods to help save the species living in those forests! #apesland@franklinlorax
In our apes lab, we learned that particle size has an effect on porosity, permeability, and water retention. With such big rocks, like the ones in my backyard, we would expect a high porosity and high permeability however a low water retention. #apesland@franklinlorax
this paper most likely came from clear cut trees that could have had a very important species living there, which could have prevented the growth and development of a city such as franklin @franklinlorax#apesland
The way we treat the land, and soil we live on is important in making the grass as green as Oakwood golf course in this picture. @franklinlorax#apesland
In Franklin, our local grocery stores provide us with a variety of food that contains different quantities of nutrients. It is important that when we shop we buy the right balance of carbs, fats, and proteins! #apespop@franklinlorax
