Spotlight

Keeping a balance with nature can be a challenge in an urban environment, but it’s always easier when we do it together. At Buddings, we want to make sure that we’re leading by example, and you can always find information and feedback about the products and processes we’re testing out in our Spotlight Section. Do you have a great tip for reducing waste in your home? Or a fun snack recipe using all in-season ingredients? Let us know!

Awesome Alternatives

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to the products we use in our homes and daily lives. What’s it made of? Where did it come from? How was it produced? What waste was created?

Our first general rule of thumb is to buy local. This not only supports local business, it helps keep pollution due to transport out of the picture.
Natural products, with ingredients you can read, without preservatives, poisons, or exploitation, not only keep you closer to nature, but the processes to manufacture them are closer to nature, too.

And we’ll help you find ethical options that cost the same to your wallet, and much less on our world.

Sustainable Lifestyle

We provide bike parking because we ride bikes, too. Our kid has been a biking baby since he was one year old and soon he’ll be riding his own little two-wheeler to daycare. If you’ve wanted to try transporting your kids by bike, make Buddings your first stop. We have an assortment of bike products for families available for loan, and first-hand knowledge of the ones that work. Check them out next time you’re in. We’ll show you how they work, and you can borrow them for up to 5 days.

What we eat

Our snack menu is always changing, and we know we’re going to be cooking for some very discriminating tastes! Check back as the season progresses to see how our staff’s daily recipes fared with our buddies.
