HEALTH
Today’s students are bombarded with conflicting and often misleading information about their food. Too often, they inherit their food choices which are shaped by influencers and advertisers without the opportunity to learn more. Nutrition education is also lacking or nonexistent in many curricula, missing an opportunity to empower students to start building eating habits that can prevent disease and support a long, healthy life.

Newest Resource: The Micronutrient Rainbow
Students learn how to build colorful plates that provide essential micronutrients for optimal health. This video and education package is available in English and Spanish.
ENVIRONMENT
No matter where you teach, your students are likely to have climate concerns. From worsening wildfires and droughts to water contamination and plastic pollution, students are looking for answers, and too often they find fear instead of empowerment. Educators, especially in the United States, believe climate change education is important, but don’t feel they have the appropriate tools to cover it. ECP’s resources address climate anxiety while providing actionable steps everyone can take to make a measurable difference.
