Isn't it green investment as well if I chop only green trees and evergreens? Also I use to store raw oil only in green containers. That's green living. Right?

Nobody thinks oil is "green". It's just that suddenly no energy source is below them and they've made so many stupid rules over the years that the only way to drill for oil without getting stopped by bureaucracy spaghetti is to use some doublespeak to redefine it as green. Not that that isn't alarming and stupid on all sorts of levels, but it's a different problem than just waking up one day and thinking oil is green.
