MiniMonos members inspiring us to go green

We thought we'd share 4 wonderful green initiatives -- total surprises -- that our MiniMonos community have shared with us with this week:

1. PERcY's Pick Up Trash Friday

One of our MiniMonos members, PERcY, has been tweeting: "@minimonos I declare that every Friday its Pick up a piece of trash day!"   He has asked us to make this official at MiniMonos and publicize it so all the kids can be inspired to do it.  So this Friday we're starting PERcY's Pick Up Trash Friday!

2. Panda's green postal art

Another MiniMonos member, Panda, sent her membership subscription through the mail.  Accompanying it was an envelope that took our breath way:

 

 

3. Viper's Going Green Competition

A very generous initiative by MiniMonos member, Viper, led her to purchase a six-month Top Banana Gold membership as a prize for a Going Green competition on her MiniMonos fan blog. Here's what she has to say on her website,  MiniMonos Guide:

"Going Green can be described in many ways.  Using software on your computer...(may be hand-drawn), draw or create, expressing what you think going green is all about.  If you do not want to create or draw, then submit a picture of you doing something in real life representing going green, like planting a tree or picking up trash.."

 (Going Green title was drawn by blog co-author, Porsche.)  

 4. Peter Torr's raised garden bed

Inspired by MiniMonos founder Melissa Clarke-Reynold's blog post about her daughter Grace's garden, Peter, his parents and 10 and 12-year old Cousinettes decided to build a raised garden bed themselves!

The results are magnificent!

Now Peter will be eating silverbeet, rhubarb, peas, broccoli, passionfruit, jalapeno peppers, egg plant and even brussel sprouts!

We're totally inspired by what our wonderful MiniMonos community are doing to go green!  Keep up the incredible work, guys!

I'm really happy to be able to give another monkey the chance to be a Top Gold Banana Monkey but I also get the satisfaction knowing that I'm not wasting my money but instead I'm able to provide help and care to unfortunate kids in need on the other side of the world! :)

I need to take some pictures of my garden, especially when spring come around, but not right now.

And all my trashes (cans and such) that we're saving so that we can take it to the recycle center once in a while. It's pile up high right now. :D

Lol talking about cans, I just remember my family collected all these tin cans and plastic bottle to recycle too but need to find one near where we live first. xD

Talking about that I need to enter my monkey photo holding one of my soda can from the recycle pile at my house. Hehehe
