Recycling is really a great thing, especially considering that plastic degrades very slowly unlike most waste. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Lucas Nelson @LN508005APES]

#apeswaste @franklinlorax me and my lad brooke are reusing, and recycling our water bottles so they don’t go to waste!

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Really nice to be seeing Angie using the second most important R to reduce our ecological footprint. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Some recycling materials can be used to make t-shirts and other useful things! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

@that1wh1teguy’s willingness to throw away a plastic bottle instead of recycling it makes him face the wrath of nature. 2 days after earth day too. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

One way we can reduce the risk of getting skin cancer is to put on appropriate spf sunblock @franklinlorax #apesair

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

One such way that we can reduce our footprint is to use cleaner transportation methods such as walking. @franklinlorax #apesair

[Tyler Kelly @TK506489APES]

By understanding all of the human created factors on our air quality, we can make informed choices to lesson our carbon footprints so future humans can breathe clean air. @franklinlorax #apesair

Anvitha draws a windmill because she knows that they are a clean source of energy. @franklinlorax #apesair

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

We should never forget that when we use electricity, it comes from burning coal which creates greenhouse emissions @franklinlorax

[drew nackel @DNackel]

This energy that is used in the school for lighting, and majorly everything, is from a coal powerplant that is burned and converted to energy for us. @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Always awesome to see our very own environmental science teacher doing his part to be environmentally sustainable @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Before leaving school, Mr Gain will have to shut his lights off (that are powered by coal!) @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Crazy to think how everyday food can be ground up and used as biomass fuel. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Although the quarry provides incredibly useful amounts of gravel, we should never discount the potential harm it could cause the environment, especially if not reclaimed properly. @franklinlorax #apesland

[Tyler Strausbaugh @TylerStrausbau1]

The franklin quarry is an example of a strip mine. It is an example of open face mining. Even though they are only extracting rock, it is still considered mining which surprises many people. #apesland @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Anthropocene is a scary self-caused extinction event, but one way to counter this is to use our resources more efficiently and smartly. #apesland @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Interesting to think that the metal in this lamp was deep underground at a point, only able to be turned into product through various types of mining and then smelting or some other process to separate the metals... but at what cost to the environment? @franklinlorax #apesland

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

We should also be aware that as important as protein is, we also need other nutrients to make sure we aren’t malnourished. #apespop

[Collin Brey @BreyCollin]

In order to become as swole as Danny, you need to eat protein to build that muscle. Also, S/O Mr. Gain
@franklinlorax #APESPop

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Interesting. It’s sad how overliant we are on one food source, meat, when vegetables are much more sustainable #apespop

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

While reviewing for my AP statistics test, I was reminded of the dangers of exponential growth of populations, specifically ours. With overpopulation already a relevant issue today, it’s scary how quickly we’re able to reproduce. #apespop @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Natural selection at its finest #apeseco

[Aubrey @ak505878apes]

Dogs have intraspecific competition so they have to fight for a resource against other dogs. My dogs have to fight for who gets the food and water first. #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Julia is a K strategist. A k strategist organism focuses on quality not quantity. They stay with their offspring until they are ready to live on their own! #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

@AS515991apes @franklinlorax Interesting to note how like us, our ancestors, the primates, are also K strategists #apeseco

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Feels good to live close to Root River. Although we have a beautiful example of nature so accessible, it’s also our responsibility to keep it that way being mindful of our ecological footprint #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Our visit to the water treatment plant really helped myself visualize the complicated but necessary process to providing us drinkable water. #apeswater
