Introduction: What does "Green" mean?

Nowadays, the word "green" is more than just a color.GREEN is a term now widely used to describe buildings designed and constructed with minimal

negative impact to the environment and with an emphasis on conservation of resources, energy

efficiency, and healthful interior spaces.
There is a growing movement of environmentally conscious consumers who are thinking about their finances, managing their money, and making choices for their future in a new way. People are making choices based on whether or not products and services are earth-friendly, ethically-produced and made, recyclable and energy-efficient. This movement is often called the "green movement".
In other words, GREEN basically means environmentally conscious.

Green buildings and fashions are often called “sustainable." Sustainable is defined as “harnessing resources ethically and responsibly without destroying social and ecological balance."
