The objectives of the research is to find the correlation between the knowledge of ecosystem and environmental ethics with students participation in environmental hygiene. The research was conducted at the Junior High School in District Telanaipura, Jambi City, with a sample of 107 students were taken by proportional random sampling. The research used survey method and data analysis technique using the correlation and simple linier regression statistic test, the hypothesis test was conducted on a 0.05 and 0.01significance level. The research produced three main conclusion i.e. First, there is a significant positive correlation between the knowledge of the ecosystem (X1) with hygienic behavior (Y)coefficient ry1 = 0.777 and regression equation Ŷ = 28.794 + 0.730 X1. Secondly, there is a significant positive correlation between Environmental Ethics (X2) with hygienic behavior (Y) with ry2 correlation coefficient = 0.790, the regression equation Y = 21.250 + 0.745 X2. Thirdly, there is a significant positive correlation between knowledge about the ecosystem (X1) and Environmental Ethics (X2) together with hygienic behavior (Y) with ry. 12 correlation coefficient = 0.790 and the regression equation Y = 19.522 + 0.284 X1 + 0.477 X2. Based on the results of this study concluded that a hygiene life behavior can be improved through knowledge about the ecosystem and environmental ethics.

INTRODUCTION Even though school cleanliness has been programmed into school institutions, many schools are still dirty and seem uncomfortable for teaching and learning. This is because all components within the school have not carried out efforts to clean the school, namely educators, students, employees, or janitors [1]. Humans and the environment are an inseparable unit. Humans with their power can affect environmental conditions and vice versa, the environment can affect humans [2]. Problems of cleanliness and beauty, including the greening of the learning environment, are felt to still receive less attention from education managers, because they may be considered to have very little effect when compared to the non-fulfillment of hardware and software [3]. Such a view is imprecise, because one of the factors that influence the process and learning outcomes is environmental factors, one of which is cleanliness [4]. A clean environment and fresh air will have a positive influence on learning processes and outcomes compared to a dirty and stuffy environment. The problem of environmental cleanliness is not only the government's responsibility, but also a shared responsibility between the government, the business world and society, including students as elements of society. A clean environment will have a positive influence on human survival when compared to a dirty environment [5]. Seeing the role of humans in the environment, it is necessary to carry out ethical development of environmental cleanliness, and a clean management model that is appropriate to the environment, because environmental cleanliness can stimulate students' passion for learning in the learning process [6]. Human life is inseparable from interaction with the surrounding environment. Every country is faced with environmental problems. To resolve the issue. National development is directed to apply the concept of environmentally sound development or sustainable development. One of the elements in the concept of sustainable development is environmental education [7]. The 1945 Constitution has stated that one of the goals of the Republic of Indonesia is to educate the life of the nation. National intelligence can be formed through the educational process. Where education is a means to form expert and skilled and productive human resources so that in turn it can accelerate the welfare of society. Differences in the level of knowledge that a person has will affect their mindset and attitude. Notoatmodjo [8], argues to increase knowledge is to provide education. The level of student knowledge includes six cognitive aspects including: knowing, understanding, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating. According to Munandar [9] humans are social beings who cannot live alone, humans are very dependent on other humans and on their environment. Mubarok and Chayantin [10] in general what is meant by healthy schools are schools that are close to clean water, are more than 100 meters from landfills, close to cleaning facilities, and are in places where rainwater and dirty water do not stagnate. Students, teachers, and the school
