the slow conquest of gray by stubborn, photosynthesizing armies that refuse to ask permission
means The process of making something more environmentally friendly, or of becoming covered in green plant growth.
from From 'green,' rooted in Old English 'grene,' the same word that gave us 'grow' and 'grass' — all stemming from a Proto-Germanic root tied to growing and sprouting. The '-ing' suffix turns the color into an ongoing act. The plant sense is ancient; the ecological sense — 'greening' a city, an economy, a building — is a much more recent extension, blooming alongside the environmental movement of the late 20th century.
