Green are the fields...
(There's a poem by Luis de Camões starting like this).

GREEN are the plants (most of them anyway).

Ajuda Botanic Garden, Lisbon - Portugal.

GREEN are the receipts (the receipts' paper is coloured green) of the about 900 000 people working in this country (Portugal) as if they were freelancers when they are actually employed by one particular organization (including many, many, many Public services). These people have all the duties of a regular employee, but none of the usual intrinsic rights.
There's more on this subject in the blog Um Jardim no Deserto (A Garden in the Desert).
