green

Since approximately 2005 "green" has gained popular acceptance as a term to describe products and processes that are ecologically sound, "sustainable" or environmentally friendly because they do not pollute the environment, and are not toxic to people. Worldchanging: Bright Green is a blog founded with a focus on publicizing green solutions to environmental problems.

In that movie former Vice President Al Gore, persuasively argued that environmental pollution caused global warming.
