GREEN BUSINESS VIEWS

The question may arise, can a small business make a real Green commitment? Don’t be fooled by any small contribution.   It should be noted that small businesses far out-populate large businesses. Collectively, small businesses have a huge impact on our society.  They hire millions of people, pay a lot of taxes, and need Green programming as much as large businesses.  For example, janitorial services employ more than a million people nationally.  Add up any sector of the business world beside car makers or banks, and you will find that the best part of a robust economy is in the propagation of small businesses.

Dogwood Blossom Stationary store is located in Sharpes, Florida and is owned and operated by Denise Wilson. Denise has earned her Green Business Certification by sheer dedication. She installed a programmable thermostat, high-efficiency lighting, solar panel for hot water, power strips to prevent phantom load, replaced cleaning products, introduce VOC eating plants, and is an avid recyler. There are more improvements than listed her, but Dogwood Blossom Stationary store is an example for other businesses to follow. Dogwood has earned the Gold Green Business Certification and deserves this award due to her diligence.

Denis Wilson worked with Certified Green Consultant, Rosalind Lanthorne of Merritt Island FL. To truly earn a certification, it takes more than an Internet-bought credential. Dogwood Blossom Stationary store earned this certification the right way.

Denise also works with wedding and corporate events with an effort to make each event more earth-friendly. Her service can offer a selection of treeless papers, recycled papers and envelopes, and eco-friendly ribbons, should you desire them. Therefore, Denise has expended environmental impact beyond the doors of her store, and we commend her for such as great and Green business.
