So many meaningful conversations and new connections💚 Educated Choices Program’s Debbie Cravey and Casey Clemens headed to Portland, Oregon, for the North American Association for Environmental Education (@thenaaee) 2026 Conference…

and returned inspired by the educators and changemakers they met. From conversations at Booth #1 to our two presentations, we loved exploring how food education can help learners connect everyday choices with the health of our planet. 🌎 🎤 Debbie’s exhibitor showcase introduced educators to ECP’s free materials and ways to use them with their learners. 🎤 Casey’s presentation explored how food impact education can drive conservation behavior, connecting what’s on our plates with the world around us. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, attended a session, asked questions, or shared your work with us. Your commitment to environmental education is what makes gatherings like this so valuable! Swipe through for a few favorite moments from the conference, and a little Portland exploring along the way. 📸 #NAAEE2026 #EnvironmentalEducation #FoodEducation
