3$\begingroup$ Environmental chemistry is chemistry that relates to the environment. Green chemistry is different as it would relate to sustainability, promotion of a green environment, etc., something the latter doesn't necessarily do. I think there is clearly a difference and both tags should exist. $\endgroup$– LordStrykerOct 31, 2014 at 11:48

1$\begingroup$ I do agree with @LordStryker. Could you add some questions, where this tag would be appropriate (or start retagging). If there are no questions, that need the tag, it simply just does not exist. $\endgroup$– Martin - マーチン ModOct 31, 2014 at 16:06
