TransAlta's Environmental Program - on video

TransAlta has been a recognized environmental leader for over a decade, and we continue to strive to find new ways to bridge the gap between the need for a cleaner environment and the energy demands of a growing economy.

As an environmental leader, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to make a difference.
