Green jokes, sometimes referred to as eco-friendly or environmental jokes, are a unique category of humor that combines wordplay, puns, and situational irony with a focus on nature, conservation, and sustainable living.
I’ve always had a soft spot for these jokes because they blend entertainment with a subtle message about the importance of taking care of our planet.
Here, I’ll share 30 green jokes and delve into why I find them both amusing and significant.
