Green

The word ‘green’ is often used to refer to nature and the environmental movement, and covers a broad range of actions, policies and initiatives as well as attitudes of individuals or organizations. It is a color now used, for example, in logos and titles of political parties whose policies are geared towards environmental sustainability. Some such policies common to environmental political parties as well as environmental NGOs and individuals include animal rights, habitat conservation, ecocentrism, ecological modernization and environmental justice. ‘Green’ can also be used in terms of economic or social policies that are constructed with these environmental goals as a focus.
