Just go outside.
Look at trees, grass, bushes, ect. Why is it all green? Like why aren’t they all different colors? Why does it mostly all have to be green?

Plants are often green because of the chlorophyll compounds in their cells. This is the compound that allows for photosynthesis. Trees change color in the fall because the green chlorophyll starts to degrade as leaves die, letting the other colors show up.
