English term

to pimp / to climate-pimp

English to Turkish Other Slang
In an educational material for middle school children (orta okul), the verb to pimp occurs. A few examples: "Climate-pimp your life style." "Have you climate-pimped your car?" It refers to changing/adjusting your life (or what ever the object is) to become more climate-friendly. One common example is to use low-energy light bulbs, or living your life in a way that your CO2-footprint is less. It's about being friendly towards the climate. But it needs to be a slang-type word, artificial or not doesn't matter. Is there a way to say this in Turkish using word or two that kids will understand? Let's be creative and come up with a term that can be used this way.

I think this would be enough for little children.

Yes, I see how the word pimp is cool and youthful
Note from asker:
But they are not little children, they are teenagers. And it needs to be a cool, youthful slang word...

bukalemuna bağlamak / bukalemunluk yapmak

Ortama uyum sağlamak yani bir nevi bukalemunluk yapmak ki argodaki tam karşılığı olarak bu terimin kullanılabileceğini düşünüyorum.

Can't be used for objects but suitable for people.
Example sentence:

Ya bu Emre de her gittiği yerde bukalemuna bağlıyor.

Bırak şu Tümer'i yahu, adam resmen bukalemunluk yapıyor.
