INTRODUCTION According to Law No. 32 of 2009 (Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 Tentang Perlindungan Dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup, 2009), concerning Environmental Management says that: the environment is a unity of space with all objects, power, conditions, and living things, including humans and their behaviour, which affect nature itself, the continuity of life, and the well-being of humans and other living creatures. Human life is closely related to the environment but still lacks a sense of concern and responsibility for the environment, so it is necessary to apply character education to care about the environment. Living things can meet all the needs of life from the environment such as natural resources that are used by people as a satisfying needs, but this has not been matched with knowledge and a sense of responsibility towards nature so that many natural damages start from land, water, and air that cause problems environment.
