Sustainable, Effective and Efficient party

• Last Monday, we had a birthday party at our home for my daughter.

Fresh & Natural Beauty

• In the early morning, I picked some pink, red and yellow flowers. • And also green leaves

from my back yard trees.

Beauty & Recycled Glasses

• I put them in to some used but clean glasses with a nice arrangement.

• They would not be found either in flower shops or in vase shops.

• But, they were beautiful enough for our party.

Organic Foods

• I also picked many kinds of green organic vegetables and herbs from our little garden to make a beautiful but also delicious birthday party table.

Save & Reuse

• I washed the vegetables thoroughly, and then poured the used water into old big jars which are always standing on our kitchen sink.

• The jars are useful for watering our little organic farm.

Cakes & Candles• We often imagine many candles on a

expensive commercial cake would be used to welcome new ages.

• But, my daughter found birthday cakes are wasteful as she often could not eat them after lots of delicious food.

Find some alternatives

• So, she requested her friends to not to buy cakes for her.

• Actually, she decided to purchase one doughnut to stand one candle in.

• In fact, I decided to use one piece of sushi roll instead as she had forgotten to buy the doughnut.

Unusual Cake

• I also used one candle which had been saved from last time.

• Everybody enjoyed but also was excited by the unusual birthday cake.

Buffet Style Party

• Our party was buffet style which could share with many people.

Share and Reuse

• I packed one bunch of flowers with one piece of used but clean gift paper.

• And then, presented it to my friend who came with her lovely little son.

• Also, I packed some food in some used but clean plastic containers for her husband who was not able to come to our party.

After Party

• After party, I wisely used all of our left over foods.

• To do that, I had to store them well in a refrigerator.

Amazing Card• I admired the amazing big birthday card made

with lots of love.• My daughter’s friends made it very

economically but also sensibly.• I found it is good enough to decorate my

daughter’s room for long time.
