♪ La-la-la-la-la-la-la ♪

Give me that! [ Grunts ]

-Oh, Buzz.

The farther away the things you ordered come from,

the more pollution they cause.

-And that happens why?

-Think of it this way, Buzz.

If the Wreaker has to fly cyber miles to get somewhere

instead of one cyber mile...

it will use times more fuel to get there.

-And it's going to cost Hacker times more snelfus

to fuel the Wreaker.

-And you know how the boss does not like to spend money.

♪♪

-I can't hear you.

-Not only that, but times more stuff,

like smelly fumes, go out into Cyberspace

when the Wreaker uses all that extra fuel.

-And that's pollution.

-Prove it!

-Let me show you something, Buzz.

♪♪

This handy-dandy pollution meter measures how different things

affect the amount of pollution in the environment.

I talk into it

and find out just how much pollution.

-Huh?

All the choices you make

have an impact on the environment, good or bad.

-So what?

-So what, Buzzy?

So what?!

-Buzz, we can show you how much pollution

your party is going to cause.

If it's a lot of pollution, think of what could be affected.

Things like Hacker's thinking tree,

the carrots Delete's bunny eats,

the animals in the woods.

-Okay, okay!

What's the worst score I can get?

Go for it, Digit.

-First up, Chef Foodie, from the cybersite Gourmetus,

making the birthday-extravaganza dinner and delivering it here.

[ Beeping ]

! -Ha ha!

Is that a good score?

-Like Didge said, causes the most pollution.

But isn't good either.

- for food?

-It's a high number because of all the travel

and fuel and pollution it takes to get the food here.

-Uh, a pollution score of for the food.

[ Sighs ]

-Ugh! I had no idea.

-You need the perfect outfit for tonight,

one that says how strong and smart and handsome you are.

Which shouldn't be too difficult,

considering what we're working with.

Ugh. I need a do-over.

-That's wasteful. Also bad for the environment.

Yikes! A !

-They're just flowers.

-They're not just flowers, Buzz.

They're so rare that if you take some away,

there might not be enough left to grow new ones.

[ Birds chirping ] -Make a new plan?

-I don't want a new plan!

-Well, sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do.

-That's for sure. -Think of this, Buzzy.

If the Cybersquad is right

about bad things happening to the environment,

what if something bad happened to the boss's tree

and these beautiful flowers because of your party?

Same pollution score.

-Well...what if we meet halfway?

-If we meet halfway, then we wouldn't be here,

and here is where the party is going to be.

-What if we make the meal here?

on the Northern Frontier.

-Whoa! The score would be .

All the way down from .

-Less pollution because less distance traveled.

-Yes. But the food still has to be great.

Who's gonna cook it?

-Thank you!

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

-I'm off to get the ingredients.

Uh, Buzz, if you want a meal prepared, you got to let me go.

-What else can we do to get the score down?

-I'll see if I can find

some nice chairs and tables to borrow.

-I know where to find flowers

right here in the Northern Frontier.

And we don't have to pick 'em.

-At home, we always make our own decorations for parties.

I can do that here.

And if Digit makes finger food,

we don't even need forks and spoons.

-Wait!

We can download some of The Cyber Brothers' songs

-I think it's so great

that you're being nice to your sister,

but I have a suggestion. -What?

-While being nice to your sister,

you can also be nice to the planet.

-What do you mean?

-Maybe you should think about not using

so many paper products that you'll have to throw away.

-We have to throw them away after food gets on them.

We can't reuse them.

-Do you know how paper is made?

-From trees? -Right.

Do you know why trees are important?

-They protect the animals that live in them?

-Right, but they also clean the air

and stop soil from washing away.

People are cutting down trees

faster than new ones are growing.

-That's terrible.

-So it's important to protect the trees we have,

not waste the ones we use, and plant new ones.

-Since paper is made from trees,

that means that we shouldn't waste paper.

So at the party,

instead of using paper stuff that we will throw out,

we could use dishes and glasses that we could wash and reuse.

-That's a great idea.

-But how will saving paper plates from just one party

make a difference?

-If there are kids at your party,

paper plates will be saved from the garbage.

What happens if kids, each having a party for ,

don't use paper plates?

-Let me see.

, , , , ,

, , , ...

plates won't go in the garbage!

-Fewer trees will be cut down to make paper products

if people don't buy them.

That's how you make a difference.

-Let's go put these back.

♪♪

I wish there was something else I could do.

-Actually, there is.

You can become a park steward. -What do you mean?

-It's something that my class does.

We help take care of growing trees and plant new ones.

-That's awesome!

Maybe that could be what we do for the surprise party.

We could work together on a park project!

-Since your sister loves science,

I'm sure she would love that.

-The invitations could say...

"Add more greenery to improve the scenery."

-Invitations? -Not the paper kind.

I'll send them through e-mail, of course.
