Brooklyn's Little Cupcake Bakeshop: For the eco-concious sweet tooth
I don't know about you, but when I walk into a bakery, I'm not usually asking myself what kind of impact my cake has had on the environment. But that doesn't mean I wasn't excited to find out today that there's a carbon neutral cupcake shop in Brooklyn. I mean, it's nowhere near the part of Brooklyn that I live in, but if I'm ever in the neighborhood, I'm totally checking out Little Cupcake Bakeshop.The store purchases electricty from wind power, uses energy efficient lighting, and "toxic free chemicals in paints, oils, cleaners, and floor treatments." The company also donates money to The Carbon Fund to offset the carbon that the shop does use.
The Bakeshop also runs the Little Cupcake Initiative, which supports environmental education. And best of all, the cupcakes are just $1.75 a piece, which is a bargain by New York standards.
