by Associated Press , September 23, 2007

"I think it's more challenging," said Dominican student Miya Kitahara, who for her final year project is working with GreenHeart Global, an Oakland-based sustainable design firm, to develop recyclable clothes hangers. "You can't just look at one determinant for your decision. You can't just look at price; you have to consider so many other factors."

Even program director Stayton is surprised at how much things have changed over the past decade.

"Green business went from an oxymoron to a mainstream concept," he said.
