Well according to this Super Pac, who's goal is to address "greatest challenge facing ours and future generations," that Guy -- Senator Bernie Sanders -- is pretty darn Green.
How Bernie Sanders can be the greenest presidential candidate ever
by Ben Adler for Grist, part of the Guardian Environment Network -- 8 May 2015
The Democratic presidential primary race got its second major candidate last week, and its first true climate hawk: Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, self-described democratic socialist. Sanders has one of the strongest climate change records in the Senate. In fact, according to rankings released last week by Climate Hawks Vote, a new Super Pac, Sanders was the No 1 climate leader in the Senate for the 113th Congress that ended in January.

“Sanders is very much among the top leaders,” says RL Miller, founder of Climate Hawks Vote. “He has a record of really strong advocacy for solar in particular.” Miller notes that distributed solar, which enables everyone with a solar panel to create their own energy instead of relying on a monopolistic utility company, fits especially well with Sanders’ democratic socialist philosophy.

Green enough, to dare to take urgent action -- when it's needed. Bernie is doing something about it ... are you?

Our goal remains steadfast: to elect climate hawk leaders -- those who prioritize and speak on the climate crisis. We don't support those who avoid issues such as Keystone XL, Arctic drilling, and coal exports. Climate change is the greatest challenge facing ours and future generations, not just another Democratic issue, but too many politicians are afraid to talk about it.
Waffling on carbon pollution and voting for fossil fuels should be as unacceptable as voting against a woman's right to choose. We don't tolerate elected officials and candidates taking money from tobacco companies who profit from human suffering and death; we shouldn't tolerate them taking money from coal, oil, and gas companies whose business plan is to cook the planet.
These voting Climate Hawks even have a Facebook page, featuring none other than that Greenest Guy, running for President.

If not now, when?
When the Drought and Wildfires and unbearable Heat Waves have left the nation, a withered shell of what it used to be?
Will that be the "right time" to dare to speak about what the National Academy of Sciences, the Pentagon, the DoD, and the State Dept -- all call one of the greatest National Security threats facing our Nation, and facing the World.
... those looming threats due Climate Change, those "think tanks" say, will be greater than the "threat of terrorism" ... if we stay on the path were on ... if we don't get off our asses couches -- and do something about it.
Like electing Climate Leaders like Bernie Sanders, who will make addressing Climate Change: Job One, from Day One.
