Green Imperialism

Green imperialism is when a country or other big organization tries to get control over other countries or places by using the environment. For example, a big country might try to put rules in place that force smaller countries to use the environment in ways that help the big country and hurt the smaller country. This might be done by controlling a resource, like water or minerals, or by making it so the smaller countries have to use certain types of energy that come from the big country.
