What is the green principle in civil law?

Legal analysis: Green principle means that civil subjects engage in civil activities, which should be conducive to saving resources and protecting the ecological environment.

This principle not only inherits the traditional cultural concept of harmony between man and nature, but also embodies the new development concept, which is conducive to alleviating the contradiction between China's growing population and resource ecology. The green principle is embodied in the relevant legal systems of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), such as real right, contract and tort liability.
