green carpet

Turf underfoot outside

A green carpet is a floor covering in green, but the phrase usually appears figuratively.

A green carpet of grass or vegetation describes lush ground cover: A green carpet of moss spread across the forest floor.

Unlike red carpet treatment, green carpet doesn't carry special ceremonial meaning, though some environmental events have adopted green carpets as eco-conscious alternatives to red ones.
