Whistler: A Green Destination

The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) was the first community in the world to vote The Natural Step system conditions into their constitution and the first community project for The Natural Step Canada.
The RMOW was one of the initial 63 other local governments from across B.C. in signing the ‘Climate Action Charter’ with the Province and the Union of BC Municipalities, committed to being carbon neutral by 2012. (September, 2007)
Whistler has an extensive recycling program the entire community is committed to. The Re-Use-It Centre is another step towards sustainability, re-using goods within our own community. Proceeds then fund 23 of our local social programs
Whistler Transit has switched its transit fleet to B5 biodiesel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
