Recycled Flip Flop Hippo

Friday
Apr 18,2008

This is wish list worthy because it is just plain cool! A hippo sculpture made from recycled flip flops!

The hippo comes from a great website called Swahili, which specializes in imports from African artisans. Here is what the site says about the hippo:

This awesome hippo sculpture is just one of the creative products crafted by UniqueEco artisans from recycled flip flops. Priced to provide a fair wage to collectors and sculptors, each hippo reflects the colorful personalities of coastal Kenyan people.

Along the Kenyan coastline near Kiunga Marine National Reserve, an ocean current drags a bevy of discarded flip flops and other garbage onto the beach. Apart from being unsightly, the garbage poses a threat to turtles that come to the reserve to lay and hatch their eggs.

A local health worker seeking to supplement the diets of local Kenyans and a biologist seeking a sustainable way to clean up the marine ecosystem struck upon an exciting idea. By employing the local youth to collect reusable debris from the beaches and women to turn the debris into marketable products, both needs could be met.

And so, UniqueEco was born. Today, UniqueEco maintains a close working relationship with over 100 women and 20 youth in the Kiungu National Reserve Area in Lamu. Together, the workers and principles of UniqueEco create beautiful contemporary gifts while cleaning up one of Kenya’s most beautiful shorelines.

One of a kind, hand made, and good for the environment? Totally wish list worthy!

GroBal

Tuesday

A very wish list worthy planter for green thumbs (and especially for brown thumbs). The design features a water indicator, making it very easy for those who have brown thumbs to keep the plant alive. Add in the fact that the GroBal looks neat as well, and you have a wish list worthy combination!

Lots of fun colors available, as well as a smaller size. Check it out!

Now and Zen

Saturday

This alarm clock from Now and Zen is wish list worthy for the mere fact that it wakes you up gently. There is nothing worse than being ripped out of a nice, deep sleep, by an annoying alarm clock. We also think it looks quiet cool as well.

This is wish list worthy for so many reasons. It’s Kermit the Frog. It’s green. And it’s “green” as in save the planet by using this fun tote instead of plastic bags. We love it, and found it at Delight.
