Length: 5 minutes

GreenWorks Environmental Tourist Gabrielle Mahler visits the Bethlehem Steel Mill, which closed a few years ago. Not only did the company produce the steel that built this country, but it was also the lifeblood of the Bethlehem community. Giving the land back to the community, by rebuilding the industrial site into an education and recreation complex, has won this company a 1999 Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence.

Produced by the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania for the GreenWorks for Pennsylvania television program entitled, Gabrielle's Environmental Excellence Adventure. Watch the entire episode here!
