What does that mean for residents?

Most of the properties on St. Mary's Island incorporates features such as low energy light fittings, dual flush toilets and recycling facilities, that enable residents to lessen their impact on the environment, without having to make major changes to the way they live their life and the way they use their home. Features vary depending on the development and the individual property, and all are designed to give residents the opportunity to play their part in preserving the planet for future generations.
