Contrary to conventional models of control, the ETF is an open system of "individuals grouped as cells" responding to environmental needs by assisting other organizations with their specific tasks. A unifying & synergizing force, the ETF believes a human life based firmly on experience and the ETF code of behaviour is worthwhile and meaningful.

Although initiated by youth privileged to attend University, the ETF is also attractive to suburban and innercity kids, aboriginal populations, young offenders, people with disabilities and people in Northern and rural environments because of the empowerment and channeling of energy that ETF membership provides. Not only does the ETF provide a fun way to serve the local and global community, but it also builds skills in teamwork, organization, coordination, recycling, self-discipline, enterprise, perseverance and community responsibility.

The ETF encourages physical fitness with purpose, where ETF Cells join new friends in the outdoors working together for fun.
ETF Missions and Expeditions into the local community encourage adventures pre-planned for success, allowing individual efforts and team building self-discipline to raise the self esteem of everyone involved.

Expanding globally, its growing list of team members from Pakistan, Togo, Zambia, Haiti, the U.S., China, Mexico and Canada will continue to spread the ETF around the world.

Since 1998, ETF members have traveled around the earth planting trees, cleaning beaches and parks, participating in eco-races, giving eco-seminars and cooperating with governments, tourism authorities, universities and business interests to influence and promote environmental harmony.

Consumer, commercial, industrial and environmental groups touched by the ETF have been very impressed and had a great deal of FUN!

An example follows of how the ETF cooperates with any group to accomplish environmental tasks - illustrating how, when given the chance, diverse organizations can be surprisingly responsible and green!
