Welcome to the Top Green Blog!

by Yancey Grantham

Welcome to the Top Green Blog where we will be talking about and looking at all things green. It is said that people who like green enjoy harmony and balance.

Green is the growing color because so many plants are green.

Green is a Primary Color

In the RGB (red green blue) additive color system, green is a primary color. Primary colors are used to mix and make other colors. The RGB system is used in light applications like TV and computer screens. In mixing of pigments or dyes green is made by combining blue and yellow.

Green Nature

It is my opinion that green is the color of nature. When you are in a forest or park and really look around, the number of green colors is amazing. In some societies people plant green grass around their homes. I’m sure there are many reasons for this but one is to have green nature nearby.

During the course of this blog, we will be looking at green creatures including:

Green Frogs
Green Turtles
Green Snakes
Green Fish
Green Birds
Green Algae
Green Insects
Green Man

Green Movement

Some people like the color green so much that they have named a movement around it. “Going Green” now means to have a lifestyle or use products that use less energy or waste than other products. I’m not sure what will happen when everything goes green, I guess we will get “going greener.” There will be stories on the Green Movement in the Top Green Blog.

Green Party

In many countries, there is a political party called the Green Party. They focus on ecology, nonviolence and having a social conscious. Because they are named after our color Green, we will attend their party and see what they have to say.

Is that Green or Greene

There are lots of people in the world who have the last name of “Green.” Some liked the “e” so much that they have an extra one at the end. We will find out why that is as we look at the surnames and some of the people who are named “Green” or “Greene.”

All Things Green

Green is a very symbolic and culturally significant color in many nations of the world. We will explore the color green around the globe as we review flags, customs, and religious uses of the color.

We will explore green valleys, green forests and green mountains as we find places named with the word green.

We will play with sports teams who do green and we will invest in companies with green logos.

Others will grow green with envy when they look at this green focused blog we have grown from this little tiny green seedling.

The Top Green Blog will continue to grow on you.

Great piece of GREEN art! The impressionistic style is so strong yet subtle in its execution. I was so impressed that I shared this on my Blog; Reki by Rockie.
