@AidenApes @franklinlorax This is very unfortunate! If we all did our part and cleaned up the river a little it would be way cleaner.

By remembering the 3 R’s- reduce, reuse, recycle. we are able to reduce waste. an example of this is using one reusable cup instead of a bunch plastic water bottles! @franklinlorax #APESwaste

We live in a world where we use lots of technology and there is an increasing amount of e-waste. I try to do my part reduce the amount of e-waste by using rechargeable devices. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@EmilyKrohn6 @franklinlorax Nice job reducing the amount of plastic used. I make sure to use reusable bottles as much as I can.

When I am throwing away paper, I put it in the recycling bin so it can be reused in the future! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Emily Krohn @EmilyKrohn6]

The average time for a plastic water bottle to completely degrade is at least 450 years, and some take as much as 1000 years! We should all try to drink out of reusable bottles to reduce the amount of plastic being used! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

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

By using rechargeable devices, recycling old devices, trying to fix them rather than throwing them away, and not buying new phones each year, we can reduce e-waste and make the planet cleaner. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[madison eberle @fhsmadison]

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

Have you noticed the brown bags at the end of driveways around Franklin? That’s because Franklin collects residential brush and leaves waste four times a year. Make sure to use paper compostable yard bags! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

The Mississippi River is the 2nd most polluted waterway in the U.S. It gets polluted by lots of plastic, sewage, sawdust, oil, and industrial waste. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[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

[John Mirsberger @JMirsAPES]

E-waste is the fastest growing source of waste in the world right now. To decrease the amount of E-waste that I contribute, I use devices with batteries that can be recharged up to one thousand times. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Regan Schweitzer (apes account) @Regan83232451]

i make sure that i recycle plastic bottle and cans. so when we recycle this can reduce and limit the amount of waste we produce. also by recycling we can reduce our carbon footprint. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

Being stuck at home we have been creating more garbage and waste. We are eating a lot of food and cleaning out many parts of the house. We are making sure to recycle the necessary materials. @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[qsulli @qsulli1]

At my house we make sure to recycle in order to avoid throwing away reusable items. This helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and also keeps biodegradable and recyclable objects out of landfills. #apeswaste @franklinlorax

@KC506325apes @franklinlorax With Quarantine a lot of us are biking/running rather than driving which is helping out our environment! Nice job!

[qsulli @qsulli1]

@JacobkleczkaA @franklinlorax This is helping out our environment and having more people bike/run rather than driving.

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

[John Mirsberger @JMirsAPES]

The vapors given off when gas evaporates (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbons) contribute to air pollution. Burning gasoline also produces carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. #apesair @franklinlorax
