I came across this essay by Paul Kingsnorth, a writer and environmental activist from the UK. I think he illustrates the difference between the light green and the deep green perspective of politics. This same perspective can be applied to the green-washing of of our current economic system.
To be truly "green" is to identify oneself with a movement that is outside of the current political and economic paradigm. It is to be more radical than the Marxists!
Remember the original meaning of radical is 'to go to the root of'. I think this is appropriate to those who love Nature foremost.
