<![CDATA[The character of caring for the environment is an important part of efforts to realize a sustainable environment so it needs to be passed on to the next generation. School is one of the means of internalizing important values in shaping the character of caring for the environment in the younger generation, especially students. The process of internalizing the character of caring for the environment today still focuses on subjects in schools related to the environment. Therefore, schools have an important role in the implementation of internalization of environmentally caring character. One implementation of the character of caring for the environment is to carry out waste-based management, namely reducing, reusing, replacing, separating, recycling, and composting. The purpose of this activity is to increase students' awareness of the environment (environmental care character) and improve students' insight and skills in carrying out waste management in the school environment. This activity is carried out for 6 months. This activity is carried out in a botton-up manner using counseling, mentoring, training and evaluation methods. This activity consists of six stages of activities: (1) socialization of the character of environmental care and school waste management; (2) Demonstration of waste selection; (3) Composting demonstration; (4) Compost monitoring assistance; (5) Compost harvesting; and (6) Evaluation of activities. The result of this activity is that participants understand about the character of caring for the environment, implementing waste management, separating waste and making compost.]]>
