achat vert : Bien que le mot «vert» soit parfois utilisé pour rendre l'idée d'«écologique», l'usage d'un terme plus précis, surtout en l'absence d'un contexte, peut être souhaitable afin d'éviter toute confusion entre les différents sens du mot «vert». Par exemple, ce dernier est utilisé pour désigner un courant politique (les Verts), une couleur (bac vert), une tendance (virage vert), etc. 4, record 1, French, - achat%20%C3%A9cologique
