A few months ago, my husband received an e-mail message from an artist named: Denis Thomopoulos, with a few questions. Attached was a link to an animation film: education material for young children, to teach them about climate change. Did he have time to take a look, and would some sort of cooperation be possible? The first thing that "spooked" my husband was the fact that the password to get access to the animation was: Red Hippo. Living together with a hippo fanatic for many years is challenging enough... but to have hippos entering his work life as well, made him wonder...
The real shock came shortly thereafter. In the form of a bright red hippo named Simon, talking about climate change and most importantly... the Power of Poop! Then, he forwarded that e-mail with the link to me. Did I know Simon? The real question obviously was: did you have anything to do with this? I do wish I had... unfortunately, I did not.
But all that has changed. I am very happy and honored to have met Simon. It is my longtime believe that hippos contribute to World Peace. Not everybody agrees. But from now on, Simon is my living proof that hippos are Eco Heroes (check website link below). And of course, all heroes contribute to World Peace!
Thank you Denis, for creating him and doing an amazing job. Our planet is going nowhere, if we do not teach our children to care, protect and respect it. It is wonderful to know, a few decades from now, there will be decision makers and action takers, who will remember how Simon and his friends inspired them, to become Eco Heroes themselves!
