Paki the Hippo



I don't know, the very name Paki is rather derogatory IMHO, but I guess that depends on which pair of glasses you're wearing. Paki the Hippo is an edutainment tool from designer Paul Berger to help school kids pick up what energy consumption is all about. Paki features teeth, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth that can be articulated, teaching in an extremely cute manner that will certainly put graphs and topographic charts to shame. Since it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks, Paki has its sights clearly set on children who will form the backbone of our future generation as they are the hope to introduce a paradigm shift in social ecology. Good luck, Paul!
