Most natural gas stoves burn off of fossil fuels, which consists of the anaerobic decomposition of organisms. These are considered “non-renewable” as they take millions of years to replenish themselves #apesland@franklinlorax
From doing the ecological footprint calculator I realized that it would take 3.5 earths to sustain if everyone lived the way I do. I can help reduce this by carpooling and using renewable energy sources #apespop@franklinlorax
Buddy is an example of a k-strategist because once he has babies there is not many of them but treats each one with care and love! @franklinlorax#apeseco
The emerald ash borer is a invasive species that kills ash trees. Firewood should not be transported because it can spread this tiny beetle to new areas. #apeseco@franklinlorax
In ecology its important to know how different organisms raise their young. Giraffes are K-strategists which means that they spend more time raising their young, compared to a R-strategist like an ant which makes a far larger amount of offspring. #apeseco@franklinlorax
Many city’s have adopted the separate sewer system where rain water goes into a local waterway. It’s important excess organic material like leaves do not end up in the waterway because it can decrease the dissolved oxygen levels. #apeswater@franklinlorax
For clean water to come out of the faucet it needs to go through many stages of cleaning until it is safe to be used. Such as the water treatment plant in Oak Creek.

Environmental reminder- To reduce carbon emissions a motorcycle/bike/or other forms of "clean" transportation can be used to reduce the amount of mining needed for nonrenewable rss. and can also cut back on greenhouse gasses emitted into the atmosphere. #apesintro@franklinlorax
