Most recently (and this is originally what I thought your intent actually
was), the green ribbon is used to indicate sympathy for muslim Americans (and
muslim-looking Americans) who have nothing to do with the attack in New York,
and also indicates that the wearer won't stand by idly and tolerate any
bigotry or racism. My roommate has one on his backpack; I have no green
anywhere in my wardrobe or...anywhere, so I couldn't even really fashion one
out of anything... Unless I wanted to cut a slip of paper and color it
green.
