These simple little blue creatures live in the far reaches of a forest, within little mushrooms. But unlike us humans, they manage to coexist happily with the earth, inhabiting its growth and eating its leaves, but not destroying any living things in the process. The cute blue creatures eschew modern conveniences, instead choosing to live off the land and reap its benefits (sun for warmth, leaves for nourishment, and each other for entertainment). And they weren't big travelers, so they never had to worry about offsetting their carbon usage. All in all, a lifestyle more of us should adopt!
