Ethan is the creator of Organic
Volunteers (www.OrganicVolunteers.com),
a national outreach and education program for sustainability
and organic food systems. Surviving lymphoma cancer at age 15
led Ethan to explore healthy and sustainable living by working
on organic farms in New Zealand. Revitalized by the experience,
Ethan realized that the solution to both health and
environmental problems lay in individuals learning to live sustainably.
Today Organic Volunteers
has over 2000 members in 41 states, with over 300 educational
opportunities available to those who
wish to live, eat, and grow food more sustainably.
