There are many appliances that we don't use all the time but are left plugged in. By unplugging these appliances when not in use will reduce your energy consumption and your electric bill. @franklinlorax#apesenergy
At home I do full loads of laundry to limit the use of the washer and dryer which use energy everytime there started so using them less helps save energy #apesenergy@franklinlorax
At my house, we use an electric stove which is a “heavy-draw appliance.” This means it uses quite a lot of power (1500 watts per hour). In order to conserve energy, my family reduces their overall cook time. #apesenergy@franklinlorax
This picture is an example of a convergent boundary. This happens when two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, causing one plate to slide below the other. The collision of the tectonic plates can result in earthquakes and volcanoes. @franklinlorax#apesland
Trees are being cut down to make everything from furniture to paper. This is causing deforestation, a major environmental issue we face today. We don’t always think about what our everyday items are made out of. @franklinlorax#apesland
This is an example of a hot spot. This is when a plate is forced under another plate. This forces molten rock through the crust forming volcanoes. This is how the Hawaiian Islands were formed. @franklinlorax#apesland
If everyone lived like me we would need 3.5 earths in order to sustain the population. Little things like eating locally grown produce or carpooling with friends can reduce this number. @franklinlorax#apespop
Haiti is an example of a least developed country. Haiti faces several environmental issues, such as overpopulation, deforestation, and a lack of sanitation. It has the highest rate of infant, under five and maternal mortality in the Western Hemisphere. @franklinlorax#apespop
My ecological footprint would require 4.1 earths to sustain. Something I could do to reduce this number is changing my lightbulbs to LEDs to conserve energy. #apespop@franklinlorax
Horses are a great example of a k-strategist species. The horse population fluctuates at or near the carrying capacity. K-strategists tend to produce fewer offspring. They also tend to be larger in size and can reproduce more than once in their lifetime. #apeseco@franklinlorax
My dog is similar to a wolf. We have created mutations in dogs DNA so that they are no longer like wolves. These mutations no longer allow them survive in the wild and we how have to care for them. @franklinlorax#apeseco
Jet is apart of a species that are K-strategist's. They produce a smaller number of offspring that they take care of. They tend to live longer. This is defferent than the counterpart of r-strategist's that produce many offspring that they don't take car of.#apeseco@franklinlorax
The water that comes out of our faucets at home has to be filtered and cleaned at a water treatment facility first. There are specific guidelines that must be followed in order for this water to be safe enough to drink. @franklinlorax#apeswater
