green ribbon

در این فکر بودم که چرا بیشترین روبانی که تا به حال به چشم خورده روبان قرمز بوده. (همان روبان قرمز بیماری ایدز). یه جستجوی کوچک کردم و دیدم که ای بابا نزدیک به ۷ تا ۸ رنگ روبان وجود داره که استفاده های مختلف داره و ما (یعنی من ) بی خبریم. گفتم متن ویکیپدیا رو اینجا بگذارم که دوستان دیگه هم استفاده کنند. از همه جالب تر کاربردهای پژشکی روبان سبز بود و امراضی که سمبل آنها روبان سبز است. البته به نظر بیشترین کاربرد رو باز هم طبیعت و محیط زیست داره. این جریان آزادی حشیش هم روبان سبز داره نفهمیدم چیه. قسمت سیاسی قضیه رو هم خودتان بخوانید بهتر است. (به حساب تنبلی در ترجمه بگذارید)

Environmental awareness uses
Environmental initiatives, such as Environment Week in the UK and in Canada, often use green ribbons to represent support for sustainable development and environmental initiatives.[citation needed]
[edit]Support of farm families
In 1998, Margaret Bruce, a Pastoral Associate at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in North Dakota, sought a way to support farm families and came up with the idea of a green ribbon and a card that read “We care through prayer.” Around the same time, the National Catholic Rural Life Conference (NCRLC) began receiving emergency calls from farm families in stress and saw that the situation was getting worse across the country. In November 1998, NCRLC launched the Green Ribbon Campaign at their 75th anniversary meeting. They developed and began to disseminate rural crisis packets to help parishes deal with the growing rural crisis.]
