Talking about "Green Hispanics", here's an example:

As many Latinos, MARTA Martines had always dreamed of starting her own company. She lost her job at the beginning of 2007; instead of crying and complaining about it, Martines decided to turn that hard moment in her life into an opportunity for herself.

She had started to sell organic t-shirts from a booth several years ago, as a way to earn extra cash. Because of her natural concern for the environment, the organic t-shirts quickly became the foundation of her own business: a new green fashion company.

"I originally started with just a few t-shirts selling at local events in my hometown" says Marta, "I'm having a great time, and I enjoy what I'm doing... that's what's important when starting a venture."

Martines founded Bangledox Eco-Friendly Clothing, a t-shirt company that is grounded in the concept that the clothing industry and environment can co-exist; all of their clothing is sweat-shop free and produced in the U.S.
