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

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

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

[madison eberle @fhsmadison]

we live in the troposphere also called the “bad ozone” because of all the pollutants we produce near the ground. #apesair @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

Since quarentine has started I only drive to and from work. Driving less has helped to reduce my ecological footprint and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere #apesair @franklinlorax

@fhsmadison @franklinlorax so smart @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[Kam W (APES) @fhs_kamryn_AP]

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

When I’m not charging my laptop, I like to unplug the charger to save energy! Less energy = less money!! @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

With virtual learning taking place and all classes online, I have been charging my chromebook much more frequently which uses up energy. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

@ApesDanielle @franklinlorax very insightful!!

[APES Whitney @_whitneythomas_]

New York City displays an example of high density housing because buildings are located very close to eachother whereas in residential locations there is lower density housing because houses aren’t as close together meaning more land is being used. @franklinlorax #apesland

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

Downtown Milwaukee has a high population density because many people live in close proximity to one another and it is very crowded. A suburb like Franklin has a lower population density because the houses are more spread out and less people live there. #apesland @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

If everyone lived the way I do, we would need 4.6 earths. I can reduce my ecological footprint by carpooling to school and practice! @franklinlorax #apespop

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

Another way to reduce your ecological footprint is to eat more locally-grown food or even carpooling to school! @franklinlorax #apespop

[Kam W (APES) @fhs_kamryn_AP]

Right now, it is estimated that if everyone lived like me, we’d need 4.7 planet earths to provide enough resources. This isn’t good. To improve my ecological footprint, I can reduce the amount of water I use. #apespop @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

Almond pops are my favorite snack!! SO yummy @franklinlorax #apespop

[APES Whitney @_whitneythomas_]

Both Clare and Nandini really enjoy these Almond Pops. They are a source of macronutrients and provide lots of energy to both of them throughout the day!! #apespop @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

Summer is the best season #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Biz Labiszak @LabiszakBiz]

Here in Wisconsin we live in a temperate deciduous forest biome. This means that we experience 4 seasons-spring, summer, fall, and winter. Right now we are experiencing the winter season, where temperatures are often below freezing. #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

aweee so cute!! An example of r-strategists would be bunnies #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Kam W (APES) @fhs_kamryn_AP]

Dogs, like humans, are k-strategists. This means that they have fewer offspring and offer their offspring more care. The offspring then tend to live to old age. On the other hand, r-strategists have many offspring and don’t offer much maternal care. @franklinlorax #apeseco

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

Maggie is an r-selected species because dogs breed once or twice in their life and have a larger number of offspring. The offspring don’t require too much parental care before reaching maturity. #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Samuel Edwards @SamuelE68544344]

Sewage drains help stop rain and snow melt from carrying salt from the roads and into the water. This helps keep living species safe from anything toxic from getting in the water. #apeswater @franklinlorax

[Allista Karbouski @allista_16]

Most people in Franklin get their water from Lake Michigan. In my case, I get my water like most people in the U.S., from groundwater. My house has a shared well dug underneath my backyard, which is where I get my water from. #apeswater @franklinlorax

[Clare Pitcher @pitcher_clare]

@brenna_maz @franklinlorax I love this idea, it's a great way to stay hydrated throughout the day and not waste plastic water bottles!! @franklinlorax #apeswater
