Morphology

green-minded = green + minded (transparent) = green + mind + ed

Formed by the clear compounding pattern 'green' + 'minded' (where 'minded' = mind + -ed); the meaning 'disposed toward environmental concerns' follows a productive English pattern.

Etymology

Green-minded joins green, a colour that stands for 'nature' and care for the environment, and minded, which means 'having a mind for' something. So, green-minded describes someone who cares about protecting nature and living in a sustainable way.
