how about you look at it carefully and figure what works about it for you.
is it typography, layout, color, etc.
figure each of the categories and make your work as similar as possible.
i can never be the same, so don't worry about being influenced.
for instance, his typography is very light on the page whereas yours is heavy.
lighten it up.
also, his color is unexpected for his subject matter.
perhaps move to a more interesting color palette.
i know you said you want to use green for the obvious reasons--
maybe it's not as obvious as you think.
what does green symbolize?
if it doesn't work for your topic, and your slant on that topic, don't use it.
think every design decision through.
leave nothing untouched by reason.
read a lot.
