What is the difference between ‘green’ and sustainable’?

Sustainable focuses on the triple bottom line of environmental, social, and economic performance. This means that the strategy would address/mitigate environmental degradation, social issues and make a financial profit. Green focuses on only 2 of these criteria: environmental and economic performance. Many green projects do not address social justice (e.g. race, class, sexuality, etc.) issues.
