ATLANTA, March 4, 2025 – In response to growing demand from educators seeking accessible and trustworthy resources for younger students, the Educated Choices Program (ECP) proudly introduces its new “Bite-Sized Learning Series.” Designed specifically for ages 8-11, this series breaks down complex topics into easy-to-digest lessons to spark curiosity and critical thinking. Previously, ECP’s educational materials were tailored for individuals 12 and older. However, after recognizing the demand to foster food literacy from an earlier age, the organization’s curriculum experts have created this series for younger minds.
The first education package in the series, “Eat for the Earth: Helping the Planet with Every Bite,” introduces the connection between food choices and their environmental impact in an engaging, kid-friendly format. The 11-minute video explores how food production influences greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and pollution while keeping students entertained with storytelling and animated visuals. With the help of the main characters, Emma, an ECP student ambassador, and Owen, a curious student, viewers will understand the impact of food choices on the environment, including water and land use and greenhouse gas emissions. To further demonstrate this topic, the video includes a virtual cafeteria where viewers will prepare a delicious plant-based meal!
This education package and other upcoming releases in the series will be hosted on ECP’s Video Library with guided notes, lesson plans, homework assignments, discussion prompts, and activities to help educators reinforce key concepts and encourage students to apply their new knowledge in and outside the classroom.
