Welcome to the Alberta Emerald Foundation website.
The Alberta Emerald Foundation website includes a fully searchable database of over 2,000 examples of environmental excellence. Our goal is for people and organizations from around the province and across the country to learn from these examples, change their attitudes and behaviours and make environmental excellence an everyday occurrence.
