While we celebrate the winners of the Climate Curve Prize: Methane, we’re also keeping the spotlight on our finalists. Their work is integral to our broader mission and the first year impact of our new prize. 🌍

Like the winners, every finalist has continued access to Climate Curve's tools and platforms that help climate solutions scale. From the Constellations Fellowship, which provides real-world career experience for emerging talent, to the Climate Impact Conduit, which connects verified projects with a global network of funders and corporations, these finalists are embedded in a system designed to drive lasting change. We can’t wait to see where your work goes next!

Am I the only one that struggles to teach Human Impact because of the sheer amount of things we have to cover and the connections we need to make?! 😅🌎🌱

There is SO much packed into this standard, and I’m always looking for resources that help me cover the important concepts while giving students opportunities to make meaningful connections, without adding a ton of prep.

That’s why I’m excited to add this free Planetary Health lesson from @educatedchoices to my unit this year! The lesson includes an 18-minute video, guided notes, lesson plan, discussion prompts, and multiple activities! I love that I can pick and choose the pieces that work best for my students and my timeframe.

If you teach Human Impact, you need to save this one for when you’re planning your unit!

Comment ECP and I’ll send you the link to the free lesson and resource library! This is definitely one you’re going to want to have in your back pocket! 👏🏼

Human impact is one of those standards where there is SO much to cover 🖐🏼 🌎 🌱

Climate change, pollution, conservation, resource use, food systems, and human health are just some of the topics that come up. But beyond just getting through all of the topics, I want my students to see how they’re connected and why they matter.

This standard can be such a meaningful opportunity to show students that their everyday choices and habits have an impact and that they really can make a difference.

That’s what I love about this free Planetary Health lesson from @educatedchoices. It helps students make those connections between human health, food systems, and Earth’s natural systems while also giving them a chance to think about how these ideas connect to their own lives.

And honestly, I love when a resource is actually ready to use, low prep, and engaging for students.

The Planetary Health lesson includes an 18 minute video, complete lesson plan, guided notes, discussion prompts, and a bunch of different student activities for you to choose from!

If you’re teaching human impact this year, save this post for when you’re planning your unit! And comment ECP and I’ll send you the link to the free lesson and resource library!

What if we stopped teaching climate change as a stand-alone topic?

Food. Biodiversity. Ecosystems. Human health. Climate.

Helping students see how these systems connect can make the bigger picture click. 💡

That’s why I love the FREE Planetary Health lesson from Educated Choices Program. It brings these connections together in one classroom-ready lesson with the video, guided notes, activities, discussion prompts, assessments + more already included. 🙌

Perfect for climate, sustainability, ecosystems, or human impact!

What does a slice of pizza have to do with science? 🍕🧪

A LOT, actually.

@educatedchoices Rethinking Food Waste: The Journey of Food follows a slice of pizza backward through the food system, from our plates to every resource and step that made it possible.

Science teachers, this is such an easy way to help students explore food waste, natural resources, agriculture, ecosystems, climate, and the real-world impact of everyday choices. 🌱🌎

And Educated Choices makes it SO easy to bring food-system education into your classroom. The lesson is FREE and includes ready-to-use classroom resources, lesson plans, activities, discussion questions, and alignment to academic standards. 🙌

Not a science teacher? It connects to plenty of other subjects, too!

Comment ECP, and I’ll send you the lesson link.

Paid partnership with ECP. Happy Teaching 🤓💛

Apparently, when you tell middle schoolers to “eat the rainbow,” you need to be VERY specific 🤣🌈
No, I’m not talking about Skittles!!!

I’m using the Micronutrient Rainbow from @EducatedChoices to teach my students how colorful fruits and vegetables provide the vitamins and minerals our bodies need. It’s science-based, engaging, classroom-ready, and FREE…aka a teacher’s favorite word 🙌

Teachers, comment ECP and we will send you the link!

Okay science teachers, this is one of those resources you’re going to want to save. 👀🌎

Educated Choices Program has an entire library of 23 FREE, ready-to-go education packages across multiple disciplines, and I was seriously impressed by how much is included.

Each package features a short, professionally produced video PLUS lesson plans, guided notes, activities, discussion questions, assessments, homework, extensions, and more.

Basically, they’ve already done SO much of the planning for you. 🙌

The Planetary Health lesson I’m showing here connects human health, food systems, and Earth’s natural systems, and I can see so many ways to work this into a science classroom.

Sub plans? ✔️
Low-prep day? ✔️
Unit hook? ✔️
Background before a lab or project? ✔️
Something to bookmark now because future-you will be very happy you did? DEFINITELY. 😂

You can explore all 23 free, science-based education packages at EducatedChoices.org.

🌱 Today is National Nonprofit Day, and we're taking a moment to say thank you.

The Plantrician Project exists because of the global community around it: the physicians and providers practicing plant-based lifestyle medicine, the researchers and educators sharing their expertise, and the health enthusiasts choosing to learn more about food as medicine, wherever they're doing that work. We're also grateful for the incredible nonprofit partners working alongside us toward the same mission, expanding what's possible when we collaborate rather than work in isolation.

Every course completed, every article read, every conversation started with a patient or a friend moves this work forward. Thank you for being part of it. To learn more about our mission: https://plantricianproject.org/vision

Science teachers… looking for more ways to connect what you’re teaching to the real world? 🌎🔬

Whether you teach Biology, Environmental Science, Earth Science, Health, Sustainability, or Human Impact, food connects to SO many of the topics already in our classrooms.

@educatedchoices Rethinking Food Waste 19-minute video and education package helps answer fundamental questions about food systems and food waste.

Where does our food actually come from? 🍕

How does food production affect different ecosystems? 🌱
And what can we actually DO about it? 🤔

These are the kinds of real-world questions I want my students thinking about 👏

I found @educatedchoices and they have FREE, ready-to-teach resources that make bringing these connections into the classroom so much easier. Videos, lesson plans, activities, discussion prompts, guided notes… all ready to go 🙌

I’m especially excited about Rethinking Food Waste, but their library covers everything from climate and biodiversity to nutrition, health, oceans, and food systems.

Less time building everything from scratch + more time getting students thinking about the world around them? YES PLEASE 💛

Check out @educatedchoices and their free resource library!

Happy Teaching! 🌱

From Aspen to New York, Methane solutions take center stage at Climate Week NYC 🍎

On July 1 in Aspen, we introduced the first cohort of 16 finalists for the Climate Curve Prize: Methane — the first global climate prize addressing methane emissions from food and waste systems. These innovators from around the world represent the promising solutions to tackle one of the most potent drivers of climate change.

Now, the race narrows.

On September 22, we will announce the eight laureates at the @whyregenerative Regenerative Systems Summit during #ClimateWeekNYC. Each winner receives $25k in no-strings-attached funding ($200k total).

But beyond the awards, this is a gathering of builders. Come meet the finalists, hear their stories, be the first to learn about the winners, and connect with the community driving real climate action.
