Abstract

The problem of waste, especially plastic, has become an urgent environmental issue due to its difficulty in decomposing and its negative impact on the ecosystem. The activity “Empowering the Banjar Indra Giri Community through the Use of Used Bottles as a Medium for Creative Economic Education in Sangiang Hamlet” was carried out to provide a solution to this problem while also improving the community's financial literacy. The main objectives of this activity were to foster awareness and skills in managing plastic waste into products of economic value and to instill the habit of saving from an early age through a creative approach. The methods used included participatory observation, direct demonstrations, and evaluation with pre-test and post-test instruments to measure changes in participants' knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The quantitative results show a significant increase in all aspects assessed. The average pre-test score of 59 indicates a relatively low level of initial understanding, while the average post-test score increased to 91, indicating an increase of 54%. In detail, the aspect of understanding the importance of saving increased from 56 to 88, knowledge of plastic waste management from 60 to 90, creativity in making recycled products from 58 to 92, and environmental awareness from 62 to 94. These results show that the training program not only improved participants' cognitive abilities, but also encouraged positive behavioral changes in environmental management and financial habits. Qualitatively, the activity of making piggy banks from used bottles became a fun and meaningful educational tool for children. They learned to save money, hone their creativity, and understand the economic and ecological value of recycling. This program has succeeded in fostering a younger generation that is more independent, thrifty, and environmentally conscious. Thus, this empowerment activity has proven to be an effective model for creative economy-based community development that integrates environmental education and financial literacy to support sustainable development.

Abstract

This individual Community Service Program was carried out in Sangiang Hamlet with the main objective of enhancing the creativity of sisya pasraman through eco-friendly activities, specifically the creation of ecoprint bags. The program focused on utilizing leaves and local plants as primary materials to produce works with aesthetic, educational, and economic value. It also aimed to foster environmental awareness and instill an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving observation, documentation, and hands-on practice. The program centered on ecoprint bag-making using pounding and steaming techniques, designed to actively engage the sisya, improve technical skills, and develop creative and innovative thinking. The resulting ecoprint products were marketed as an effort to introduce the potential of the local creative economy. The outcomes indicated that the sisya pasraman successfully transformed simple materials into marketable products, while also showing improvements in discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence. The ecoprint activity further provided new experiences in utilizing local plants as natural dyes and promoted the concept of sustainable green economy. Overall, the program effectively nurtured creative, independent, and environmentally conscious characters among the sisya, while making a tangible contribution to the development of the local creative economy.
