Profitable Florida Business and Going Green

This is a short podcast that covers a little about using green friendly techniques to save money for your Florida business. Ron Johnson from the Small Business Administration (SBA) interviews Warren Brown, the owner of “Cake Love” and was the SBA’s small business person of the year in 2006 in Washington, D.C.

Highlights from the podcast:

Ron Johnson: First, can you tell us about CakeLove and what led you to want to operate an environmentally safe business?

Warren Brown: Sure. Well, CakeLove is a bakery, a retail bakery that sells cakes and cupcakes and other small treats that are all sweet. We bake from scratch, on site, which means that we’ve got a lot of equipment on site, and that means we’ve got, like, gigantic food mixers and a lot of refrigeration, lights, and things like that. And I just believe that every business owner and every citizen that’s — every person that’s walking the face of the earth, really, has got a duty to the earth to make sure that we’re trying to preserve it because it’s rapidly disappearing or just changing — it’s not really disappearing, but I guess changing right before our eyes and if we don’t act together, then the earth is going to become inhospitable for future generations.
