Use these slideshow lessons to introduce your students to the importance of reducing food waste. Teacher notes are built right in! Designed for K-5 and 6-12.
1.3 billion tons of food is wasted each year. Wasted food means a loss of natural resources used for growing, processing, packing, transporting, and marketing as well. These slideshows teach students about why food waste matters and what they can do to help reduce it.
