We should also helps others with clean drinking water instead of worrying about having perfectly green grass.

[Kristen Branigan @kristen_graceee]

We need to start paying attention to how other countries don’t have clean drinking water and we do. We need at start helping others before worrying about things like our phones being dead. #apeshydro @vahsapes

Motion sense lights can also help to save energy

[Allison Gloade @AllisonGloade]

Turning the light off every time you leave a room is a simple way to conserve energy. @vahsapes #apesenergy

My family does the same thing but we don’t set the thermostat because it only gets turned on June and December 15 which is after we usually travel

Water has many different uses including hydropower. Hydropower is usually generated with dams that when being built can do a lot of damage to the ecosystem around it. @vahsapes #apeshydro

My neighbors have solar panels on their house to get the subs energy for electricity. It’s expensive but a good renewable resource. #apesenergy @vahsapes

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

Everyone got a sheet today in advisory that will probably not be used again. Make sure to recycle them to reduce waste. @vahsapes #apeswaste

@KristenBraniga5 Bringing in the natural enemy of pests can also help to not use pesticides but sometimes they could become invasive species

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

@AA17apes @vahsapes Also it can make pests more resistant to it through natural selection

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

Pests can become resistant to pesticides the more they are used. That means that insecticides and pesticides are only being used in higher quantities to try to kill resistant pests which can end up hurting the biodiversity near the area that is using chemicals @vahsapes #apespest

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

@AA17apes @vahsapes Yay for some organic cucumbers! We love a non pesticide using gardener!

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

@AllisonGloade @vahsapes The amount ratio of water and air to soil makes determines whether the soil is water logged or not.

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

Root systems of plants like grass and trees help hold the soil in place during rain and wind to help combat erosion. This tree is not real other trees that are outside in the ground keep the soil in place during storms and windy days. #apessoil @vahsapes

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

Rain can also replenish some of our reserves like ground water and help to water our plants

[Dallas Knight @dk16apes]

Rain is important because it feeds our immediate needs without requiring us to tap our reserves in the water table. Rain provides a renewable resource that can meet our food production needs if managed properly. #apesaqua @vahsapes

Also did you know that in the city of Durham there has to be a fountain in a pond like this to keep up the dissolved oxygen and keep the fish alive. RIP the pond fountain

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

Fertilizer run off can get into bodies of water and cause algal blooms and less dissolved oxygen leading to fish kills. #apesaqua @vahsapes

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

@AllisonGloade @vahsapes What were they selectively breezed for? Is this the same for any other species?

[Laila Bomze @lb17apes]

@dk16apes @vahsapes Are ponds more diverse because of their size? Are ponds more susceptible to algal blooms because of their diversity?

[ZV16APES @Zv16A]

Fishing in marshes in order to get an idea of the biodiversity of the world around us! Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity by giving all species an important role to play. @vahsapes #apesbio

[christian jimerson @CJ17APES]

Waves and storms degrade our beaches daily, trash left on beaches can be swept out to sea and harm or injure marine life. Keep our beaches clean and well kept, leaving the beach you should have everything you brought with you. #apesbio @vahsapes
