If you approached a red
traffic light 37,000 miles per second, it would appear green.
Most Glow-in-the-Dark
items are green, and why do they glow?
Phosphorescence is what
makes
them glow. It occurs when a substance continues emitting light for more
than a second or two after the original light source is taken away. The
outer electrons in the atoms of the substance get excited
and jump to higher orbits. When the electrons eventually settle back to
their original state, visible light is emitted; the stored energy can
phosperesce
for a few minutes longer.
But why green? The active
phosphorescing chemical in almost all consumer glow-in-the-dark items
is zinc sulfide. Zinc sulfide is the phosphor, and it is usually mixed
with other chemicals, and it naturally glows green.
green (grên) noun
1. Color. The hue of that portion of the visible
spectrum lying between yellow and blue, evoked in the human observer by
radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 490 to 570 nanometers;
any of a group of colors that may vary in lightness and saturation and
whose hue is that of the emerald or somewhat less yellow than that of
growing grass; one of the additive or light
primaries; one of the psychological primary hues.
2. Something green in color.
3. greens. Green growth or foliage, especially: a.
The branches and leaves of plants used for decoration. b. Leafy plants

4. A grassy lawn or plot, especially: a. A grassy
area located usually at the center of a city or town and set aside for
common use; a common. b. Sports. A putting green.
5. greens. A green uniform: "a young . . .
sergeant in dress greens" (Nelson DeMille).
6. Slang. Money.
7. Green. A supporter of a social and political
movement that espouses global environmental protection, bioregionalism,
social responsibility, and nonviolence.
"The feminizing of culture. Culture would be
feminized on a level that has yet to be fully explored. Green
Consciousness means recognizing that the real division between the
masculine and the feminine is not a division between men and women but
rather a division between ourselves as conscious animals - omnivorous,
land-clearing war makers, supreme expression of the yang - and the
circumglobal mantle of vegetation - the ancient metastable yin element
that constitutes by far the major portion of the biomass of the living
earth.

An inward search for
values.
Inwardness is the characteristic feature of the vegetable rather than
the
animal approach to existence. The animals move, migrate, and
swarm,
while plants hold fast. Plants live in a dimension characterized
by the solid state, the fixed, and the enduring. If there is
movement
in the consciousness of plants then it must be the movement of spirit
and attention
in the domain of the vegetableimagination.
Perhaps this is what the reconnection to the vegetal Goddess
through psychedelic
plants, the Archaic Revival, actually points toward: that the
life
of the spirit is the life that gains access to the visionary realms
resident
in magical
plant teachers. This is the truth that shamans
have always known and practiced. Awareness of the green side of
mind
was called Veriditas by the twelfth-century visionary Hildegard
von Bingen."

Green is a color seen commonly in nature.
Plants are green because they contain chlorophyll.
Green light
has a wavelength of around 550 nm and is
one of the additive primary colors.
Distinguishing "Green" in language
The English language makes a distinction
between blue and green, but some languages, such as Tarahumara, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Toki Pona (a
constructed language), don't have a separate word for green and use
either the word for yellow or the word for blue to describe the color.
Most of the time, Chinese language has the blue-green distinction, but
another word, qing , used most often in premodern Chinese, can mean
either "blue" or "green" or, much less frequently, "black", as in
xuanqing.
"Green" as a symbol
The ecology movement uses green because of its
common occurrence in nature. Greenpeace, an ecological group, uses
green because of its association with life. Those who carry this into
the political realm are called "Greens":
There are political parties named the Green
Parties in over one hundred countries throughout the world (beginning
in Europe, although the Green Party of the United States and many state
parties and two prominent provincial parties in Canada - in Ontario and
BC have taken root). The more generic term "green party" is used for
