APES Project Lorax Fishing is an amazing example of Ecosystem Services, it’s a cultural thing for my family as it’s been taught and practiced through generations. I’ve been taught how to respect both the sport and the nature involved in order to keep fishing culture alive #apesintro

I am looking for new tennis shoes and decided to find some that use recycled materials to promote a more sustainable future. Goods made with recycled content use less energy, water, and create less pollution than other products. #apesintro APES Project Lorax

Using reusable silverware and bowls opposed to plastic is sustainable for the environment because it eliminates harmful waste, and saves companies the cost of purchasing more. #apesintro APES Project Lorax

STATE QUALIFIERS! For the first time in school history, the Saber girls tennis team earned a trip to the WIAA state individual AND state team tournament! With a dominant team performance today, the team won the sectional tournament!

#apeswater Installing a new sink for our bathroom. Before we install it, we need to make sure all water pipes, and faucet is ready. Once set up, we are able to get our Lake Michigan tap water! APES Project Lorax

Another way to help the environment is using a reusable water bottle! This prevents plastic waste in landfills, lakes, and oceans!!😊 #apeswater APES Project Lorax

I use a reusable water bottle and fill it at the bubblers at school. (I am drinking water from Lake Michigan) Then, I am not using plastic water bottles that can end up in oceans and impact many ecosystems.APES Project Lorax #apeswater

In the summer trees surrounding the river provide shade. This shade is important because the river won’t get too hot which could result in low biodiversity which isn’t ideal. #apeswater APES Project Lorax

This is my dog Tucker, he is a k-strategist because he grew up with few off springs and he had parental care.APES Project Lorax #apesecology

My mom is a K-strategists. She produces a few offspring and takes care of them. She provides high parental care. APES Project Lorax #apesecology

this is my dog reggie! he is a k strategist because he came from a small litter and his parents cared for them for a long time. r-strategists are different because they produce a lot of offspring and do not care for them for that long. #apesecology APES Project Lorax

This is my dog Olive, who is a K - strategist. Dogs like her have few offspring, which allows them to give them attentive care. This betters the offsprings chances of survival. #franklinapes #apesecology APES Project Lorax

The typical American family has 2.5 kids. My family is well over that! a higher population requires a higher use of resources. More food, more money, and more natural resources. APES Project Lorax #apespopulation

Me and emma carpooled over the weekend. By carpooling, we are making an effort to lower our carbon footprint, and to save gas. #apespop APES Project Lorax 🤞🏼🚗💓

#apespopulation APES Project Lorax being on the poms team means lots of carpooling which reduces my friends and i’s ecological footprint and the amount of earths we would use!!!

Due to tectonic plates forming Mount Rainer through the collision of two continental plates. We are all able to enjoy the beauty that Washington has to offer through a cultural ecosystem service! APES Project Lorax #apesland

This plant in my house is able to grow because of the nutrients the soil provides. With the right pH level and amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, our plant can thrive!!🌿 APES Project Lorax #apesland

Due to ingredients like fertilizer and peat moss in my plants soil, they are healthy and continue to grow! They are staying nutritious APES Project Lorax #apesland

My iphone charger is a source of energy that I use constantly, I should probably unplug it to conserve energy! APES Project Lorax #apesenergy
