You 'can' join PERcY's Pick up Trash Friday!

Hi, Viper here! Are all you monkeys out there picking up trash that you see wherever you're going?! Lol you better be saying yes! xD

As you can see this a quick reminder for all monkeys on the Island and even the Staff! ^^ Today is Friday [in America], which means PERcY's Pick up Trash Day! Along with picking up trash, you can also recycle it instead of throwing it away in a garbage bin. :D

Something I do with my family, instead of throwing away cans, is to collect them up along with ones we see littered on the sidewalks and any places that cans & tins are not supposed to be. We put them in trash bags or grocery bags and after a period of time, we bring them to a Tin Recycling place and rid of them from the environment. Hehehe, a little benefit is that you get paid a specific amount, depending how many tins you give them. :P

MiniMonos Recycling

Not only can you help our world and get rid of non-biodegradable objects but a tiny token is given back to your as a thanks, hehehe. :P

So maybe you monkeys could bring some kind of bag along with you, whenever you are taking a walk. You never know what could appear along the way like trash to recycle! ^.^

-Viper

P.S. This Tuesday, after I wrote this, I finally had the chance to sell & recycle all the cans with my uncle and ended up getting $51.70 for 94 pounds of tin cans! :D Here are some pictures of the day :P

And here is a short clip I recorded of it too: ^^

Yay! Go Viper! Great job recycling those cans! If anybody else has any great things they're doing with their trash, let us know and we may publish it on PeRCY's Pick Up Trash Friday!

Hi there monkeys!

Well, since MiniMonos switched to beta the Top Banana card has changed a bit! Take a look at it :)

New-banana-card

So, as you can see you need to Invite 5 friends, collect 100 clouds in the cloud catching game, recycle 150 items (this is my favorite game after the lagoon game) and finally help new fish appear at the lagoon!

Now, you will get a check here in about 2 to 3 days -- just keep playing the lagoon game!

Hope you become a Top Banana soon!

Great post, Doggy! Welcome to our Mogger group :-) It's great to tell everymonkey about this change because even if some of us are already a Top Banana, we now know what the new tasks are to help new monkeys!

How to edit the MiniMonos wiki

Benoit


Hi Monkeys! Benoit here!

Panda and Catfish, our MiniMonos wiki curators, have done an awesome job running the MiniMonos wiki for over 3 weeks now! There is lots of great content on there -- and we'd love more content from all of you!

The MiniMonos wiki is a bit like a library, a place where everymonkey can contribute and store instructions, photos, stories and information for anyone else to come and read at any time. We are expecting lots more monkeys to be joining us over the coming weeks and months, and to help them out it would be great if they can use our MiniMonos wiki!

So if anymonkey is stuck on a game or wants to know how to become a Mini Mod, the MiniMonos wiki has the answers! It would also be great if the wiki is a place we could keep our important information, like who our adopted orangutan baby is!

Some monkeys have asked us to tell them about how to put cool stuff on the MiniMonos wiki - well I am here to help you out! Once you know the simple editing rules, adding your content to the wiki is easy.

Over the next 2 weeks I will be releasing 'How To' videos about the MiniMonos wiki and how we can all help to make it great.

Here is the first video:


If you've watched this video, tried hard, and still find it hard to post on the MiniMonos wiki, Panda has very kindly volunteered to upload your information for you. But if you can try to do it yourself first, that would be best! Panda's MiniMonos email address is panda(at)minimonos(dot)com.

Over the next 2 weeks you'll find more wiki 'How To' videos on MiniMonosTVand on the MiniMonos wiki, at the top of the "How to Edit this Wiki" page.

We're really looking forward to all the great new content that will be uploaded to the wiki and I hope to see you in-world sometime!

Best bananas,

Benoit

Monkey of the Week -- Emini!

Emini

Our Monkey of the Week this week is Emini! Listen to this awesome story:

A few weeks ago in Emini’s country it was Seaweek so she and other volunteers went out collecting rubbish from the beach. And Emini did such a great job she was interviewed for her local newspaper!

Emini said that amongst other stuff, she picked up a heap of cigarette butts. These can be toxic as they break down and if there are a lot of them it can affect our wildlife. Check out all the cigarette butts they picked up -- there are about 1800 of them! Yuk!

Eminy picks up trash

Emini said in the newspaper interview: “Me and my friends have recently been aware of the environment. At lunchtime we just all go together and pick up the rubbish.”

Woohoo!!! We know that Emini and her friend, PurpleTanya, have been big supporters of PERcY’s Pick Up Trash Friday and have commented and tweeted about what they’ve been doing. Emini also told us that MiniMonos made her more aware of looking after the environment. That means that we monkeys are making a difference in the real world. How awesome is that!

Great job Emini and well done for being Monkey of the Week!

p.s. Wow! I just checked my messages and found out that Emini has a brand new baby brother! A huge congratulations again to you and your family, Emini! :-)

Party Review

Lewisrae's MiniMonos party a big success

Hello Everymonkey,

Lewisrae here, fresh from my party which was a big success!

Here are some pictures:

Lewisrae Party1

On MiniMonos we rained loads of stuff! Andrea and AlphaMonkey rained bananas and we all rained easter eggs (we even went green when Andrea said "Go Green" lol!).

Here is another pic from outside Traderz:

Lewisrae Party2

Smurfburt's computer accidentally made our computers/laptops all laggy by raining too many easter eggs lolz!

Alvin's pic of Lewisraes party(picture compliments of Alvin)

Andrea even woke up Eco to go to my party -- poor Eco getting woken up so early!

If you went to my party I hope you liked it.

Happy Easter!
