Since this last June, "going green" has found a new meaning for itself.
Ever since this past June, (is it you who finds this new meaning? or is it everyone?) have found a new meaning for "going green."
"Green" is what protesters against dictatorship in Iran call themselves -the color was a symbol of Mir Hussain Musavi's campaign; a reformist presidential candidate.
Protesters against dictatorship in Iran call themselves "green" to reflect the symbol of Mir Hussain Masavi, a reformist presidential candidate.* I rewrote it to be active voice. also edited the hanging modifier and the semi-colon. a reformist pres. candidate is a person, the campaign is not a person, but something else, so you can not connect the two as you did.

Since then t Besides troubling the regime, the Green Movement has changed a lot of things, especially the life styles of many Iranians. "For thirty years Iranians were in their closets, refusing to come out and now it's been thirty days that they've come out of their closets, taking into streets, and they're absolutely refusing to go back in." Ebrahim Nabavi, Iranian satirist and journalist, stated in his article "what happened to whom?" in June.
To this dayToday , the change
sthatoft he Green Movement
'smade hashave passed the geographic borders and
continued on toit has change
d the world. Not only inspiring people in other countries under dictatorship such as China,
but it has changed
the image of Iranians from
violent terrorists and uncivilized people to a
nationindividuals who/community that stands and fights for freedom and democracy using modern day techniques. <here I'm not sure what fits. are they a group? can you call the Iranians a body/group?>
<why the quotation marks?>"A while ago, I got an email where I read that some kids in New York in protest of the way their principle was treating them decided to "go Iranian" on him; meaning the decided to stand up to him and demand their rights. That blew my mind, because as an Iranian kid grown up in America the term Iranian was never used in a positive way like that. It wasn't cool to be Iranian, you couldn't use the term Iranian as standing up to people." says comedian Maz Jobrani who's been living in the States for more than 30 years. He adds: The movement has well showed the fact that Iranians want democracy and freedom just as much as any American citizen would want, has opened a new sharing point for the two nation.< What are you trying to say here? how does this show cause/effect?>

Okay, I like the event and all, but how is this a cause and effect essay? Are you saying the cause is the beginning of the Green Movement, and the effect is the realizations and opening of doors in Iran and abroad? You have a lot of quotes. Some are good, others don't quite fit in. You use informal voice several times, but it fits I guess. It flows well, the subject is clear, but you don't mention the going green after the first paragraph. maybe in the conclusion talk about how this greenness is apparent in the changes of people's perceptions of Iran and how this push for reform is green, like a rebirth (or something along those lines). Interesting topic and discussion.
