Sustainable Residents
Everyone who lives in Westminster has a part to play in using natural resources wisely. This ensures that there is enough to go around for all of us today, while at the same time leaving resources for future generations too.

To assist Westminster residents in lowering their ecological footprint, we have put together a series of tips below. These suggestions are quick and easy to follow and can help to keep consumption within sustainable limits.
