Basically, a green stick means that it is still partially alive, and also a little bit wet, meaning that it wont burn, but the heat of burning two dry sticks will dry out the green stick and let it burn

No - it is either wet, soggy and won't burn nicely or,it's dry and hence very light and burns almost instantly.You can burn it if you need to but I wouldn't recommend it.

What happens when you start a fire with a moist wood?
Trying to start a fire with damp wood is very difficult. When I backpack I always carry some tinder (dry shavings) to start a fire. Wet wood will not burn unless the fire is hot enough to evaporate the water that is in the wood. You can burn damp wood on an already burning fire but it will not burn as hot. Wet wood tends to smoke a lot and may go out on a small fire that does not have a good coal base. I have had to use damp wood to start a fire before but I had to shave down the wood until I found dry wood inside. Once you get a small fire started gradually add wood until you can get a hot fire. Too much wet wood at once can put out a fire. Not a good thing when you are cold and wet. Be patient.
Why are dry wooded areas at high risk of fire in the hot season?
dry wood is easily caught on fire. When wood is wet it cant catch fire. That's why when you make a camp fire you want dry wood. It lights easier and burns better.
Are wet leaves easier to burn then dry leaves?

What happens when you burn fresh cut wood in your fireplace?
Wet wood does not burn well. Freshly cut "green" (live) wood can be up to 80 percent water. This water has to be converted to steam and leave the wood before it can burn. While this is happening, the temperature that the wet wood can reach is limited to less than 300 degrees Fahrenheit, dramatically lowering the heat produced by the primary burn. Additionally, the rising steam can significantly extinguish the secondary burn occurring above. Always dry your wood by seasoning it before burning. It usually takes at least six months to dry wood to the desired 20% moisture content for burning, but can often take 12 months or more.

Will putting wet wood on a bed of coals in a wood stove create creosote in chimney?
Creosote is not created- it is naturally in the wood. A "cool" burn lets the creoste present in the smoke condense on the walls of the chimney. With a hot burn, the flue gasses are hot enough that less is deposited on the chimney. Wet wood gives a cooler burn.
