My parents have 3 kids. This is higher than the fertility rate, and we need to try to make sure our ecological footprints are low because we have more people. @franklinlorax#apespopulation
In countries like China, it is a policy that families can only have 2 children. If this applied here in the US, I would not have my two youngest siblings. #apespopulation@franklinlorax
Working on a computer reduces the amount of paper waste in the world. Individually this would lower my ecological footprint @franklinlorax#apespopulation
By spending less time in the shower I am saving water, which is an essential resource and reducing my overall ecological footprint. #apespopulation@franklinlorax
I unplug devices when they’re not being used in order to reduce energy consumption and lower my overall ecological footprint @franklinlorax#apespopulation
It is important to conserve our water. One of the ways to conserve water is by taking shorter showers which directly helps conserve our water. #apeswater@franklinlorax
#apeswater@franklinlorax my family and I use this water purifier to purify our water and remove any harmful bacteria that could be present such as fecal coliform. We keep our water safe so we stay safe too
With the use of using reusable water bottles/ cups, it helps save the usage of our water, but also helps with plastics and other materials being wasted into the water streams. Also, the metal straw is another way to prevent plastic wastes:) #apeswater@franklinlorax
Storm drains are an example of where non-point source pollutants-oil, fertilizer, trash-go when it rains. This runoff goes into our local waterways. Let’s all try to pick up after ourselves so our trash doesn’t end up in storm drains like these. #apeswater@franklinlorax
Instead of using a plastic water bottle you can use a reusable one which reduces plastic waste that may wash into waterways and increase microplastics which would hurt sea organisms. #apeswater@franklinlorax
Consider everything in a car and how taxing the production of a car is for the enviro. Now consider how much in an electric skateboard: a slab of wood, four small tires, and a safe, certified litiumion battery. The carbon footprint is significantly less #apesintro@franklinlorax
