From Waste to Wellness: Food Waste Solutions that Empower Students for a Sustainable Future 

School lunchrooms are a significant source of food waste, but they also represent one of our greatest opportunities for environmental and financial impact. Join the Educated Choices Program and the Florida Green School PTSA to discover how you can inspire your students to improve sustainability in their school and community. This webinar bridges the gap between early food waste education and actionable solutions students can support now and build on throughout their lives.

In the classroom

ECP’s food waste education has been viewed by thousands of students in classrooms across 35 countries!

We Are Teachers awarded ECP’s “Rethinking Food Waste” as a Teacher Pick for 2025. For this award, science teacher Christine Arsenis used ECP’s video and lesson plan with her middle-grade environmental club and gave her feedback.

“My students working together to bounce ideas off each other, not only from the video but also their own personal experiences, was fantastic. It made the video content seem more realistic and applicable to daily life.”
