What's considered sustainable from a public health perspective? Not necessarily the same things that we might otherwise uphold. We celebrate the 2025 Earth Day theme of Our Power, Our Planet with architect and integrative environmental specialist Molly Scanlon who shares insights on a new model for architecture practice.

1. Adjacent industries hold the key to practice innovation. Seeing the issues through another point of view moves us past the constraints of business as usual.
2. Advocacy requires having a flexible perspective and taking initiative to build your expertise and avenues of impact
3. Things don't change unless you do.
4. Buildings can become a non-pharmacological intervention in the world of public health as we add additional research related to safety and sustainability.
5. Architects can provide a holistic vs. a traditionally component based understanding common in public health.
6. Pick the right opportunities and keep your schedule open so you have the time and energy to get involved with what matters to you.
