The Color Green
Green is a beautiful color! In nature, the grass that you walk on is green and
the leaves that you see on trees are usually green. Most of the plants that you
see are green too! Frogs are green and many grasshoppers are green too. Turtles
are different shades of green. Did you know that you can make green paint by
mixing blue and yellow? Because you can make green by mixing two primary
colors, it is called a secondary color. Green is also the name used to describe
the movement to make products that do not harm the Earth. Green products are
often those made from recycled materials or those that are safe to throw out in
the trash.
