Following large success, thousands of views, and an award from We Are Teachers, the Educated Choices Program’s (ECP) “Rethinking Food Waste” update is now available. Many new activities, animations, and visual elements have been added to spark even more interest in classrooms and among the organization’s growing global audience. Sources and statistics have also been updated to ensure timely and accurate information is provided to the public.

As a new school year begins, educators are preparing to bring real-world relevance into the classroom, with lessons that resonate with their kids.
