With modern digital cameras, the green color is processed the cleanest with the most luminance. The result is that you’ll often be able to pull a clean key with the least amount of noise, and often, without a complicated lighting setup. Conversely, because of green's brightness, it can also lead to more "spill, "meaning the green color may reflect and bleed over on your on-screen talent.... To combat this, ensure that there is sufficient distance between the talent and the green screen background. Green is also an ideal choice if you’re compositing in a "daytime" background.

Town-Country Symbiosis in Calcutta. Historically, the city's eastward expansion halted west of a marginal zone of low lying marshlands, variously known as Dhapa, East Calcutta, or the area of the salt water lakes. Here a symbiotic, creative relationship exists between town and country. With the participation of the rural inhabitants, much of the solid trash, liquid sewage, and polluted air generated by the metropolis of over ten million inhabitants is recycled into organic nutrients, fresh water, and clean air. The system reduces urban waste, creates a daily supply of fresh fish and green vegetables for Calcutta's kitchens, and generates employment and revenue for East Calcutta's thirty-odd villages. 1, record 15, English, - town%2Dcountry%20symbiosis

The formation of the neologism dry greening appears to be a play on words in the form of a rhyme. This is a form of class-maintaining derivation as the new lexeme replaces "clean" in "dry cleaning" with "green" based on the new concept of a green transition characteristic of the late 1980s. 1, record 18, English, - dry%20greening
Record number: 18, Textual support number: 2 OBS
As no French equivalent was immediately found for this neologism, it is quite feasible to propose a translation. Based on the existing translation of "dry cleaning" and the "virage vert" of the 1990s as discussed in the article entitled "Les écolos au supermarché" in the November 1989 issue of L’Actualité, the following proposition can be made: le nettoyage à sec "vert". This signification of "vert" has also evolved in modern journalistic language, but has yet to be incorporated into current dictionaries. 1, record 18, English, - dry%20greening
