 * Hi. The term greenchip is being used by a journalist for The Australian see: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22623891-23850,00.html
 * You mean it's the name of that column? I'm not sure that would count towards meeting the criteria for inclusion. Kappa 01:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * O.K., but here at Wiktionary, unless a word is in clearly widespread use (which this is not), we need durably archived quotations — books, print newspapers, journal articles, etc. —Ruakh TALK 02:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

The term has recently been added to the Macquarie Dictionary in Australia and reads as follows: greenchip, adjective of or relating to companies, investments, etc., which are environmentally sound as well as financially solid. [green def. 5 + blue chip] The Dictionary is a subscriber only service and can be accessed at: www.macquariedictionary.com.au


 * Great name for the newsletter, but not yet in widespread use nor cited in durable media. Other neo-logism senses seem to have more currency. It may eventually become widespread through the blogosphere, but not yet. (BTW, I tried "green chip" as well as "greenchip". DCDuring 23:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
