Think Green

White Point is surrounded by pristine natural beauty. The Ocean, the beach, the trees and wildlife are all a big part of what makes White Point Estates and the community such a lovely place be. At White Point we committed to sustaining the natural beauty that surrounds us and are proud to support our province's initiatives and do our part to Reduce. Reuse and Recycle.

Nova Scotia has become a world leader in recycling and composting.

In a consumer society, most commodities, once no longer used for their intended purpose, have traditionally been discarded. The implications of this "throw away" mentality are profound. In recent years, Nova Scotians have begun to recognize these implications and have taken aggressive action to change their practices and attitudes towards waste. We have a progressive waste-management program, and in 2000 we became the first province in Canada to recycle 50% of our waste.

Reducing the amount of waste we generate, identifying opportunities for the recovery of valuable resources, encouraging the development and commercialization of new technologies, and taking necessary action to secure a sustainable future are among the challenges we face today and in the years ahead.

The Solid Waste-Resource Management Strategy for Nova Scotia is premised on:

environmental protection and ecological value
wise and efficient use of renewable and non-renewable resources
economic opportunities through the development of a vibrant environmental industries sector.
