Greens hate ape genocide because it kills and eats creatures so similar to us we should treat them like long-lost relatives, not dinner. They hate logging in general and not just when it leads to deforestation - "no old growth" is a concept they defined. They also dislike war since it provides excuses to use nuclear junk, and genetically modified food.

Of all factions, Greens have been the most specific and scientific, and thus probably the most successful, at getting their factionally defined terms into the public mind and into the law and media. They are very focused, e.g. on safe trade. They often form Green Parties and split the vote even for their friends among the Pinks and Reds, and they are more willing to work in minority government than almost any other parties.

Greenpeace is probably the world's most successful nonprofit at online organizing. We can learn a lot from them!

The glossary arose from work towards a Green Documentation License, which may be used in the content wiki, since it will make reference to scientific and other validation, e.g. from ecology. There may or may not be similar validation requirements in the Consumerium License, but it seems likely.

The Consumerium Governance Organization will have to decide if the well-organized Greens should be allowed to write a lot of basic definitions, since ecosystem health is obviously the most basic survival issue on Earth. or if a more representative group should be able to object.
