  1. Knowledge a person shares with the intent for it to be easily recycled/re-used in the future by others.

Is this right? Mglovesfun (talk) 23:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The book The Making of Green Knowledge seems to use the term in the sense of 'body of knowledge about the environment'. Pingku 15:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder whether this is a sign of extending the "recycling" aspect of greenness and the word "green" to new realms. Are we missing a sense at green, or should something there be reworded? Does green now mean, among other things, "reusable", "extendable" as might apply to wikis or software objects as well as tangible objects? DCDuring TALK 15:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
