Every year my family goes to Mackinac Island. When there, we have to be very mindful of what we throw away because the island doesn't have a landfill and they charge you for the trash you create. This promotes recycling on the island. #apeswaste@franklinlorax
A good way to help minimize the amount of waste in landfills is by composting. You can compost items like banana peels and apple cores!! #apeswaste@franklinlorax
you should always choose to drink out of reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones because a plastic bottle can take up to 1,000 years to completely degrade. by drinking out of reusable water bottles it will reduce the amount of plastic used! #apeswaste@franklinlorax
This is photo of my grandmas water machine— H2O, water is apart of the ocean acidification process as it combines with CO2 to form H2CO3 known as carbonic acid!! 🌎💧 @franklinlorax#apesair
Our sunroom has a lot of windows to let in sunlight. When it’s light outside, we can turn the lights off in our house to conserve electricity! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
Smoke stacks like this one produces CO2 emissions, which can be harmful to the environment. There are many alternative types of energy that can be used that do not produce CO2 emissions, such as hydropower. The less emissions the better! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
i unplug my chargers from the outlet when i’m not using them because keeping them plugged in consumes energy. it also helps save money! #apesenergy@franklinlorax
there are many different kinds of soil. loam soil is the best for growing plants! loam soil contains a balance between silt, sand, and clay. #apesland@franklinlorax
This is an example of a hot spot. This is when a plate is forced under another plate. This forces molten rock through the crust forming volcanoes. This is how the Hawaiian Islands were formed. @franklinlorax#apesland
here’s some printer paper that my family and i use everyday! paper is a huge reason for why humans continue to log and therefore it takes a lot of forestry to sustain the logging business! #apesland@franklinlorax
@TG506401apes@franklinlorax another way to reduce your ecological footprint is by eating more locally grown, unprocessed. & unpackaged foods. good job!!
As humans in the United States we use more resources than any other country. One resource we overuse is gas. One way we can reduce this is by using other transportation. Using Bublr bikes in Downtown Milwaukee is one way to do so. #apespop#franklinlorax
My family has 2 kids- me and my sister, which is just the right amount to replace my parents on this Earth, and to help keep the United States population stable. #apespop@franklinlorax
