Inexperienced environmentalist (5)
I believe the answer is:
green

'environmentalist' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Environmentally sound" , "Ecologically beneficial" , "Caring for environment" , "Grassy enclosure, in a village say" , "Village space" .)
