ANORAK’s Man in New York discovers Paki The Hippo, your eco-edu-hippo-aide:
Let’s face it, we all care about the environment but managing energy, water, and waste is a challenge in itself. The key is instilling eco-behavior as a part of our everyday routine. That’s where Paki the Hippo comes in.
Designer Paul Berger created Paki as a edutainment way for school kids to learn about energy consumption. With teeth, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all articulated, Paki aims to teach in an uber cute way instead of staring at boring graphs and topographic charts…
Nothing boring about sitting in a classroom shouting “Paki”. How can if fail to be a global hit?

Not more cavorting?
Let’s face it, we are not in patter of tiny feet territory; more like the rustle of an extra-large tutu.
And for a man in imminent danger of being swabbed down for an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show, you are taking this with considerable, and suspicious, aplomb.
I think I need to check out the Gas Cupboard…

Perhaps, it will make her broody again?
After all, Neville may want a playmate!

Perhaps Paul should just commit suicide now…
