Peter wondered why he didn't have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never giving.

One day Peter told Bill, "I'd like to give a party on Saturday, I'd like you to come and bring Martha, too."

"Thanks, Peter. We'd be happy to come." "Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I'm sure everyone will want you to sing for us." That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake." You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery." Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn't forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.

The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said "Thank you" to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, "Thanks for the invitation."

The first Earth Day was in 1970. People were beginning to worry about what we were doing to our environment. So they set up Earth Day to tell everyone about their worries.

In 2007 organizers in over 150 countries planned over 4,000 big events. But Earth Day is not just about marches(游行) and big events. In the week around Earth Day (22 April) there were many thousands of smaller, local events. These events dealt with environmental problems in the neighborhood.

The world Wide Fund for Nature made a list of 5 things that each person could do to save the environment.

Don’t leave the tap(水龙头) running.

Turn off lights when you leave a room.

Turn off your computer every night.

Wash your clothes, and yourself, in warm or cold water, not hot water.

Dishwashers use as little water as possible.

If we all do at least 2 of these all the time, we can make a big difference.
