Definition of anti-green
: opposed to policies intended to protect or improve the environment
No matter how green individual homes are, suburban sprawl is intrinsically anti-green. It generates infrastructure inefficiency; car dependency and rising fossil fuel demand; carbon-emitting, time-wasting road congestion; and, despite availability of inexpensive land at ever-greater distances from jobs, escalating development, construction and public service costs.— Roger K. Lewis, Washington Post, 2 May 2009
