NO.

Your GREEN wire is your grounding conductor.

Your WHITE wires can be either of two things:

1) A natural white wire will be your (Neutral) line,

2) A "Tagged" white wire is a (Hot) or Live wire.

Which means that if your white wire is tagged, it is a "Secondary BLACK" wire.

Usually you will find an indication of "tagging" at the front of each sides connection of the wire.

Green is generally the ground wire and black is almost always the hot wire. It is usually not a good idea to hook them together. Without knowing what each wire does, there is no way to tell from here.

The electrical code states that the only place that the ground wire comes into contact with the neutral wire is at the distribution panel. All other circuits connected to the distribution panel require the ground to come back as a separate wire. No where in the field wiring must a neutral wire connect to a ground wire.

Simply run a wire from that outlet to that wall switch. Be sure you use the exact same wire size that you find in that outlet. It will be AWG 12/2 or 14/2. Do not mixes wire sizes. Connect the ground to green ground screw at outlet, and white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw. At the light switch connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw on the switch. Now connect the 2 black wires you have left, power in and power out, to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which wires you connect to the 2 screws.

The black and white cables, or possibly black and red, are analog audio. Green is one of the three component video wires, bundled together as red green and blue.
