Children are used to the parties that consist of junk food, loud music and the like．However, today's environmental condition is serious, so to save our environment, we need to do our bit by making small changes in our activities like planning our kid's birthday parties in an eco-friendly manner．

         The first idea for the "green" birthday party is selecting a "green" location．You can put some choices in front of your child like gardens, parks and farms and let him or her select one for the party．The benefit of choosing a natural outdoor location is that it doesn't require much decoration, which will save your money．Also, it'll bring your child close to nature．

         Secondly, go "green" while you're listing out the required materials for the party． Use reusable and recyclable materials like cloth table covers instead of plastic．For decorations, avoid plastics by using natural things like plants, candles, etc．What's more, you can avoid using paper invitations and invite people by sending e-mail invitations to them．

         Thirdly, plan the food according to the 'green theme．Serve delicious but healthy food to the guests．Fruits, vegetables and nuts can be the most appropriate parts in party food as they taste great, and are extremely healthy．Home-made cakes will also serve the purpose very well．

         Lastly, conduct "green" activities．For giving children a learning experience, take them on a trip to the nearest farm and let them see the working system there．After the learning experience, let them play together in a park．Also children can make up stories which you can write down for them．These written pages will be colored by the kids and will be their return gifts．

         Plan a unique but wonderful birthday party for your kid and enjoy．If we all contribute to this cause, soon we'll see our earth back in her green coat．

III．Benefits

Planning a unique but wonderful birthday party helps save the earth．

Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.
It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.
By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.
