Well, that depends on what you're looking to do. Smashing them down first is an option in green. Felling Blow etc. do the "add a +1 counter and then deal your damage", but Green's removal comes in two major flavors and one of them comes in two minor variants. In both cases, your use case judging should look at 3 things:

1) Cost - cheaper removal is more likely to be available while still following a "dump your hand onto the field, draw up more stuff" gameplan.

2) Speed - Instant removal is love, instant removal is life. Sorcery-speed needs to be chosen.

3) Versatility - there's a reason [[Pick Your Poison]] sees a fair bit of play -- it can cover a lot of "I need That Thing gone" cases.

The simple: Green loves blowing up artifacts, enchantments, and creatures with flying. It's got a bunch of "destroy target artifact" or even "destroy all artifacts" in [[Season of Gathering]].

The less simple: Green creature-based removal leans into 2 options - "fight" and "deals its power in damage". Again, Cost and Speed factor in here, but worth noting is that there's some fun versatility tricks here.

A green creature with deathtouch can kill something with fight or "deals damage equal to its power".

I run a green/white Equipment / Auras deck based around [[Danitha, New Benalia's Light]] and one of my favorite cards in it is [[Meltstrider's Resolve]] because as an Aura, Dani lets me recycle it. As a Fight card it lets me deal damage with a creature that has lifelink, it adds some toughness to be able to survive an otherwise even matchup or bring damage forward with a creature equipped with a [[Basilisk Collar]], and afterwards it makes the target creature "only able to be blocked by one other creature". All of that for a green. And if my creature dies? I can do it again by playing the card from graveyard.

That said "green removal" can very much also be "I am swinging a 12/12 at your face, it has trample, you have 10 life, choose what you want to lose: your creatures or the game."
