Romanian translation:[O politica ecologica] nu e neaparat deficitara

Explanation:
Ceva in genul asta. Destul de greu de tradus, pt ca implica un joc de cuvinte:
verde/rosu - verde fiind "green", ecologic dar si solvent, iar "red" in datorii, in deficit.

[O politica ecologica] nu implical neaparat sapa de lemn

zile negre

Explanation:
Pentru cazul în care jocul de cuvinte cu ”green” și ”red” se dorește păstrat, propun următoarea adaptare:
Să fii verde nu înseamnă să te aștepte neapărat zile negre.

Adaptare din:
(A strânge) bani albi pentru zile negre = (a face) economii pentru vreme de nevoie.
