GP said his server room is "green". I say MY office is "greener" because it releases more CO2. What does the green parts of plants use (other than Brawndo)? CO2. Unless I really have had too much beer since biology class.
Equating low CO2 emissions to the color green annoys me. Hybrid cars with a little green leaf on the back annoy me. I'd like a sticker for my CO2 belching SUV that shows a big green tree surrounded by a bunch of people choking to death.
But you're not joking are you? You actually believe that the colour green should be reserved in all symbolic references to plants (and I assume you also believe that other other photosynthesising life forms are also green?)
Anyway, let me break it down for you. The colour green has been associated with nature in all its forms for centuries. This is not a modern phenomena. Calling something green that is friendly to the entire ecosystem is not some sort of contradiction in terms.

*sigh* Not this one again. I doubt I'm going to convince you, but just in case someone thick is reading. It is a myth to believe that higher CO2 levels will boost plant growth and food production. [newscientist.com]
