        abstract = {This study looks into how teaching Environmental Science in schools can improve students' awareness of sustainability. It tackles the important issue of low public understanding of sustainability. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, gathering qualitative data through interviews and surveys with teachers and students. It also involves quantitative evaluations of students’ knowledge and views on sustainability before and after the teaching program. The results show that students' grasp of sustainability ideas significantly increased, with 75% of participants showing better knowledge and a stronger commitment to sustainable practices after the program. These findings highlight how important Environmental Science education is for developing environmental literacy, which is crucial for personal responsibility and public health related to environmental issues and community welfare. The implications of this study reach beyond just education, indicating that better sustainability awareness in young people could help shape improved healthcare policies focused on environmental health, leading to healthier communities. By linking environmental education to health more clearly, this research promotes a broad educational strategy that includes sustainability in future healthcare discussions, emphasizing the need for educational changes that support sustainable development and public health.},
