By Ardra Arwin - Member of TECH, student at Skyline High School  When people think about sustainability, they often focus on climate change, recycling, or clean energy. Conversations around substance abuse prevention, on the other hand, tend to center on personal health and individual decision-making. However, these two issues are more closely connected than they appear.
At the Issaquah Sustainability Fair 2026, it became clear that sustainability is not only about protecting the environment, but also about shaping the spaces we live in and the behaviors we normalize. The choices individuals make, especially young people, extend beyond personal impact and influence community health and safety. |
