Full Title - Made-in-Alberta - Chapter 2: Ep. 4 "Straw Board "

Straw Board
At the Alberta Research Council, they're developing high-quality panels made from straw and other agricultural by-products.

Forests for the Future
We need Alberta’s forests to slow global warming, as well as provide clean air, water and habitat for many different species. The boreal forest also provides a livelihood to many northern Albertans. How can we have industry in the forest without destroying it?

Made in Alberta
Energy, water and climate, these are hot topics for the 21st Century. With conventional fuel reserves running out, water tables running low, and global temperatures running high, many Albertans are finding new energy solutions. Made-in-Alberta brings their stories to community television and the world wide web with this innovative new series.
