The green ribbon has been used as a symbol for many campaigns, including various campaigns for environmental justice.
The green ribbon is also used to show support for organ donation and transplant, and is awarded to a competitor who finishes in fifth place in a contest held at a county or state fair in the United States. The green ribbon also symbolises solidarity with Chechnya.
Following the July 2005 London bombings, British police in Nottinghamshire distributed green ribbons as part of a Good Faith campaign to show support for Muslim communities.
The green ribbon is used to show support for finding missing children in Canada, as well as awareness for Bipolar Disorder. The green ribbon is also used to show support for Lyme disease research.
Environmental initiatives, such as Environment Week in the UK and in Canada, often use green ribbons to represent support for sustainable development and environmental initiatives.
