ERF: Change Through Action

It is the belief of ERF that people want to act responsibly but are either
unaware of their negative impact on the environment or are hindered
by barriers that prohibit them from acting responsibly.
Our programs are targeted at three primary audiences: youth,
communities, and businesses. Our goal is to help each of these
groups determine their environmental issues and provide the
resources to assist them in accomplishing their goals.
