This is a great glossary for green environmental terminology. Some great additions to your list also.

I will definitely keep this page bookmarked and watch for additional terms to be added.

Great post. Thanks.

Don’t you think you should add CarbonPig to the C section for a longer workout?!

http://carbonpig.com

CarbonPig (noun) – Someone who knowingly uses products and services with a high carbon content or embedded energy value.

E.G. Billy is a CarbonPig because he drives a Hummer.

Cheers,

Matt

Great list of definitions: Offsetting – the process of reducing carbon emissions by ‘offsetting’ it. An example is by taking a flight and in compensation paying a company to plant trees to equal the carbon use out. —– hope you don’t mind if i quoted it for a paper I wrote!

If you do just shoot me an email.

Thanks.

I am doing some research on lunchbox safety and reusable water bottle safety. A couple of terms that you might want to add into your green glossary includes: 1) “BPA” (BPA is now considered bad in plastics that touch your food or water–look for “BPA-Free” when you buy, and get rid of plastic bottles and food storage containers that might have BPA in them), and 2) lunchbox vinyl–lead is often used in the vinyl, and many lunchbox companies are now specifying their products are lead-free.
