Sometimes, I feel a bit guilty because collecting hippos is not a very environmentally friendly hobby. Some of my hippos have carbon footprints as huge as.... well, hippos! I have been thinking about a hippo museum, but I think it would make more sense to plant a huge hippo-forest, to compensate for all that carbon. I had to think about that, when my friend gave me these hippos. They are handmade in Kenya. She bought them on-line from a store in South-Korea, and then brought them from there to Thailand. Who knows where they will end up eventually. These fellows have already been travelling half way around the globe!! To name them: Carbon and Footprint, would be stretching things, but it crossed my mind. These two are called Elly and Bee ("B" for her last name). Thank you Elly, for thinking about me and bringing them all the way from your home town..... will not forget you anymore! And when that hippo-forest will be planted, I will make sure some trees will be named after you too!!
