@franklinlorax #apeswaste One major concern with landfills in the US is that holes can be poked in the lining of landfills which will allow leachate to contaminate groundwater.

[Kyla Walsko @kw505765apes]

If you don’t recycle disposable bottles, try using reusable ones to limit the amount of garbage being put in landfills!!#apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Taylor Schaefer @TS509485apes]

Did you know that 55% of all waste that is produced in the US goes into sanitary landfills? These landfills not only take up space, but also produce leachate which has the potential to contaminate water sources #apeswaste @franklinlorax

water bottles are used in an open loop recycling method which makes bottles into many other useful things like fiber! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@KD505731apes @franklinlorax these power plants also release mercury which is very harmful to humans also. #apesair @franklinlorax

[Kate Dallmann @KD505731apes]

Coal burning power plants allow us to have electricity, but the plants also release SOx which creates sulfuric acid as a secondary pollutant. Start keeping the air cleaner by using less electricity and producing less pollution @franklinlorax #apesair

[Gracelyn Pugh @GP504955apes]

Experiments in class demonstrate how acid rain can effect the environment. #apesair @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

plants like this rose use photosynthesis to take in carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen for us humans! #apesair @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

@je511373apes @franklinlorax that’s right! and with a lower wattage, it uses less energy which requires less coal to be used! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

@KD505731apes @franklinlorax that’s right! but some appliances like your fridge can’t be unplugged and are always running

[Kate Dallmann @KD505731apes]

We can save so much energy if we turn off our lights when they are not being used! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

appliances like this fridge are plugged in 24/7 and are constantly costing money. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

@alexallmannapes @franklinlorax that’s right! it also has a lot of hot spots which can cause land to form like Hawaii!

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

@KD505731apes @franklinlorax that’s right! we’re located right in the middle of the north american plate!

[Kate Dallmann @KD505731apes]

@franklinlorax Earthquakes often happen on the fault lines of oceanic and continental plates. Good thing Wisconsin doesn't have many of those! #apesland

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

one of the main uses for many of the trees we harvest from forests is lumber for commercial use! #apesland @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

@LS505887apes @franklinlorax that’s right! we only have one earth and once all of the resources are gone, there is no more earth. #apespop @franklinlorax

[Shane Staerkel @SS514065apes]

@je511373apes @franklinlorax that’s right! if we were all to become vegetarian, we would increase the amount of people we could feed by 10x. #apespop @franklinlorax

[Kate Dallmann @KD505731apes]

With Earth's population of people growing exponentially, we have no idea what the carrying capacity for the planet is, so it may be for the best to save resources for the future and use less now. @franklinlorax #apespop
