Green cannot be rural, oddly (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
carbon neutral
'green' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'cannot be rural oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cannot'+'be'+'rural'='cannotberural'
'cannotberural' with letters rearranged gives 'CARBON-NEUTRAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for carbon neutral that I've seen is " good for climate?".)
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
