Planet School · For K–12
The world's first climate literacy
& action intelligence system for K–12 schools.
Combining live, source-based global learning with personalised, data-driven insights — Planet School helps schools build holistic climate literacy and measure, track and reduce their environmental footprint through student-led action.
From climate learning to measurable school impact.
Six stages. One continuous loop. Powered by source-based pedagogy and an AI engine that makes every observation count. Each card below illustrates the stage through a different module — food, energy, fashion, transport — to show how the loop applies across every climate system.

Eight interconnected climate systems. One planet, explored through real-world learning.
Students explore climate systems through live and self-paced journeys into real communities, ecosystems, industries, and frontline environments around the world.
From farm to fork to action. An anatomy of one module.
To show how a Planet School module works in practice, we’ve picked one as an example — Re-Thinking Food & Food Waste. Here’s the journey, stop by stop.
& Food Waste
“This is where the journey begins.”
Visit a banana plantation. Trace harvesting, grading, and export systems.
- 01Understand where our food begins — and where it is first lost.
- 02Explore food loss at source due to cosmetic standards, inefficiencies, and global trade dynamics.
- 03Begin tracing the journey of bananas from farm to global markets.
- 04Recognise how early-stage decisions shape what reaches consumers — and what never does.
“What happened to the bananas we saw at source?”
Visit a supermarket and a community food bank.
- 01Follow the journey of bananas from plantation to supermarket shelves.
- 02Understand how food is labelled and displayed at retail level.
- 03Examine food waste across supermarkets and households.
- 04Confront the paradox: surplus food and food insecurity coexisting.
“What we choose to eat shapes the planet.”
Visit a cattle ranch in a deforestation frontier.
- 01Explore how global food demand drives land-use change and deforestation.
- 02Understand the link between diets — especially meat consumption — and environmental impact.
- 03Connect everyday food choices to large-scale ecological consequences.
- 04Shift from awareness to action: what does a sustainable plate look like?
That’s how many bananas are thrown away in the UK every year — nearly 1–1.4 million every single day, most still perfectly edible. Students trace exactly where, and why, those bananas are lost between Costa Rica and a London shelf.
Inspired and informed by the module, students audit their own school food system.
A real audit, by a real class, on a real Tuesday. Filled in alongside the live session.
Supervising: Mr. Patel
The audit becomes a ranked set of actions, tailored to your school.
Our intervention agent reads the audit, cross-references the module's evidence base, and surfaces the highest-impact moves — costed, ranked, and ready to assign.
Lentil curry showed 7× lower waste-per-serving than beef stew. Replacing beef stew on Tuesdays with a similar plant-rich alternative is projected to reduce CO₂e by 9 tonnes per academic year.
Year 7 plate scrapings averaged 47% of beef stew portions. Reducing default portion size by 30% and offering second helpings on request is projected to reduce waste by 4.2 tonnes per year.
Even with the above interventions, ~3 tonnes of food waste annually is unavoidable. A small on-site composter would divert this from landfill into the school garden, with student-led management.
From audit to evidence.
A week later, students log what they did — photos, results, all attached to the school's permanent climate record.
"Worked with the kitchen and Mr. Patel on a 4-week trial. Aarushi made the posters. Week 4: 38% less plate waste than the same week last term."
One term in.
From a 45-minute live session in Costa Rica, to a Tuesday audit, to a four-week campaign, to a measured outcome. This is what every Planet School module does.
Two dashboards, one chain.
Aarushi logs her audit. Sarah sees the school's Scope 3 food line shift. Same data. Different views. A continuous loop.
Aarushi logs her meat-free Tuesday lunch. Sarah's Scope 3 food line shifts. The CAP auto-updates. Governors see it next Monday.
