vehicles can produce nitrogen oxides (NOx). these can result in acid rain & photochemical smog, a secondary pollutant made from NOx + VOCs + sunlight (O3 is also made in this reaction). limiting vehicular use is important to reduce these emissions! @franklinlorax#apesair
wisconsin at night is not as polluted as major cities, so you can see the night sky, even if it’s cloudy. cities such as LA, on the other hand, have a layer of photochemical smog (haze)! @franklinlorax#apesair
wind energy is a unlimited renewable resource that exists due to the earth spinning & unequal heating of the planet surface. i spotted some wind turbines in the image below! negatives, however, include being a blight, noise pollution, & killing birds @franklinlorax#apesenergy
Practicing social distancing during this pandemic is crucial!! My family often likes to pass time with the tv but we try to bike, walk, and and use less tech to stay busy, to stay safe and to conserve energy during isolation. @franklinlorax#apesenergy
Not only is leaving this outlet full of charging wires dangerous, but it also is a waste of energy. Try to unplug unneeded cords in your household to conserve energy! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
when i’m not actively using it, i make sure to unplug my phone charger to not use up energy and watts. though savings are minimal, i’m still doing my part to help reduce my carbon footprint 📲 #apesenergy@franklinlorax
succulents and aloe plants require their soil texture to be sandy loam for them to fully grow. they do best in dessert climates, so they are not naturally found in wisconsin’s forests! #apesland@franklinlorax
Though Covid-19 is not stopping the population of the US from increasing entirely, it is slowing it, causing the prediction of US population in 25 years to be more than 10,000,000 less than predicted in 2018 #apespop@franklinlorax
these banana were grown in a way that reduces the shipping distance. eating locally grown produce is a great way to reduce my carbon footprint, and lessen the number of earths my actions take up! 🌎 @franklinlorax#apespop
Glad I live in a temperate seasonal forest biome , so we can have all 4 seasons! WI winters are chilly but the summers are warm so there is a perfect balance :) @franklinlorax#apeseco
Franklin is a great example of a temperate seasonal forest biome, there is snow on the ground and cold temperatures during the winter season. But when summer comes temperatures will become warmer and the snow will melt. @franklinlorax#apeseco
