Project Planet

The Project Planet Environmental Granting Program supports TransAlta's commitment to improving the communities where we live and operate. This grassroots environmental program is a way to get youth thinking about how to improve the communities and environment around them.

Youth, involved in innovative projects demonstrating environmental stewardship, will be eligible for a one–time grant to help turn their ideas into reality.

What kind of project qualifies for a grant?
We will look for projects, from youth 18 years and under, aimed at:

• protecting, conserving and restoring the natural diversity of neighbourhoods, communities or schools
• maintaining clean, healthy, and safe land, water, and air for all living things.

In addition, the projects must:

• have a measurable environmental impact
• involve innovative or breakthrough thinking
• be practical
• be local in scope or scale
• be sustainable and self-funding into future years
• include a cost/resource/volunteer estimate
