So who Are the Bumblejums...?

Ever wondered if there is anyone looking out for us, looking out for the world? Someone to keep an eye and make sure we treat the world with respect? Someone to help us understand why it's important to be responsible towards the environment?

Well that's where the Bumblejums come in.. and who they are.

The Bumblejums are Guardians of the Environment, a family, a team, friends. They work together and play together and they know the value of treating the environment with respect.

They live in a little cottage deep in Dandy forest in the land of Halibo. Each character has a special power linked to nature and uses their power for good. Goodness knows they are needed for there are things afoot which sometimes need a little intervention!

We'll meet them all soon, but let's meet Bumble Jo first.



Jo looks after the water, keeps it clean and makes sure it's not wasted. We all need clean water to drink. The plants and flowers need it to grow. They need a drink too! She is the big sister of the family and keeps the others in line when chores need doing! You can be sure that Jo is always there for advice, when there is a problem to solve, Jo will know what to do!

Where is Halibo?

Picture a land of lush forest, flowing rivers, magical animals and friendly creatures.. a place where nature comes first and everyone plays a part in making sure things work in harmony. Oh.. and it's nestled among the clouds where there is a perfect pink sunset everyday!

You've found Halibo..

High up above you and me is a land where the residents respect their surroundings. Wind farms, Water Mills & Solar fields, are all in a days work... It's not all work however. It's also a place where you're likely to meet an assortment of fun, unusal and friendly little creatures. They work together and then spend time enjoying their world.

Sounds idyllic? Well it is .. but, there are other parts to this world where things are not quite as well run....

Kids of all ages can find their way to Halibo and maybe even become an honorary Halibonian...!

Visit soon..

What's Halibo all about?

Well it's all about the environment really. Sitting on a plane several months ago, thinking about how nice the clouds looked, (yes I was tired and the mind was wandering) I got to thinking about a place where we might act as guardians of the environment rather than careless consumers of its resources, hence Halibo. Home of the Bumblejums..




Growing up, I never considered the global environment as a living breathing co-dependant eco-system, cause and effect etc. Sure I liked nature, trees, life in general but never really thought further than that.

Halibo is where everything works in synch with nature. Teaching children about respecting the nature and the consequences of not doing is at the heart of Halibo. This generation is not going to be here forever and it makes sense to get the next generation thinking about the important stuff as soon as possible. Who knows one little genius may grow up and save the planet..

We'll be putting more up about the Bumblejums and Halibo as things grow. Come and visit us http://www.bumblejums.com/ and thanks to Michael Collins for suggesting we do one of these..!
