Hi!

Does "greenie" mean environmentally friendly person? Are there any synonyms (less serious terms) ?

Many thanks,

K

Greenie Refers to someone who is very active in promoting protection of the environment, but is often used in a somewhat derogatory manner. There are other definitions for "greenie," but to my knowledge that is the most common one. As for synonyms, environmentalist and preservationist are two of the more formal terms.

  • Since you mentioned "less serious" I assume you are also looking for other slang terms.
  • " There are a few related terms, but they tend to refer more to the hippie, naturalist lifestyle, rather than relating specifically to conservationism.
