Green Monkeys Louisiana have been rolling this year!! Thanks to our new crew, Jason Boudin and Courtney Jagneaux.

January was our spring fling. We set out and for two hours on an amazing day, played Frisbee and picked up trash. Awesome!!

February was our Mardi Gras 2nd Line. We followed the Kings Parade with signs like “ monkey see Monkey DO” and “you CAN do it”. We collected cans from the crowds and reinforced the ideals that you can have fun and do good for the world at the same time. We recycled the cans and donated the proceeds to Earth Share Gardens. 23 dollars isn’t much but it can do a lot when you put it to good use.

March was a huge success with an amazing turnout for our annual canoe trip. We set out at 1ish and paddled down to bayou tortue. From there we discovered that behind the airport, the wind from such an open area blew huge amounts of trash down to the southern wilderness areas. We pulled in and claimed a bank then got to work. We collected about 4 canoes FULL of trash from our one trip. Great Job TEAM!! We also participated in the annual bowl for kids sake. We were able to have two teams show up raising a whopping 400 dollars for the big brothers and big sisters program. Yet another great fun day and what a way to show the world how to have fun and help at the same time!!

April is a special month for south Louisiana. It is the host of one of the largest free festivals in the world. Festivals International. We managed to secure a booth on the festival grounds downtown! We will be putting up our tent and having a recycling booth . We will also be doing trash pickups at dusk and showing the town and the world who the green monkeys are!!
