The deteriorating of environmental conditions nowadays is the environmental quality degradation impact caused by human activities that do not consider continuity and environmental sustainability. Therefore, human quality becomes a major issue and has an important role in the efforts of saving the environment. Competences in the field of knowledge, skill and attitude about the environmental issues is necessarily need by a whole of life in order to take a part in the efforts of conservation. School empowerment as an environmental learning resource through waste management is one of the efforts that could be gave to the students to increase environmental awareness. Learning resources are resources that can be utilize for the sake of teaching and learning process, either directly or indirectly, in parts or in whole. Environmental education is an educational program to foster students to have a rational understanding, awareness, attitude, and behavior that is responsible for the nature of sustainable development. Through these efforts, it is to be expect to create a clean, beautiful, comfortable, healthy and unobtrusive school environment and the whole of school society behavior who are more concerned about the environment.

Understanding and learning geographic knowledge and applying it to sustainable development (SD) depends not only on the knowledge itself, but also on how it is taught and studied. The teaching and learning methods for promoting sustainability in geography have not been thoroughly studied. This qualitative study examined articles on geography teaching and SD. The material was selected using keywords related to geography education. The study describes 17 articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals from 2008 to 2018. The focus group varied from primary to higher education. The proportion of teaching and learning methods were determined. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The foci of the analyses were the teaching and learning methods, topics, goals, and levels of thinking skills. Additionally, features of the teaching methods used in geography education, including outdoor education, to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) were investigated. Different teaching methods used together and interactive learning were the most often preferred. Group work and teachers’ presentations were mentioned in 12 articles, and inquiry-based learning and argumentation in half of the articles. The most often written expressions promoting SD in geography education concerned environmental sustainability (42%), followed by social (25%), economic (19%), and cultural sustainability (14%). The most emphasized features of the current teaching methods were active participation, thinking skills, animation, evaluation, dialog, demonstrations, and information and communication technology skills. The whole school approach and forward-looking perspective in geography should be implemented in school education to reach the SDGs and to support SD.

This article examines the development of Taiwan’s Environmental Education Act and how Education for Sustainable Development was mainstreamed into the national policy framework within the country. The goal is to understand the policy tools and governing strategies that were used by the Taiwan government to develop and implement a nationwide environmental education policy for integrating environmental sustainability into all areas and levels of teaching and learning. Official documents related to national plans for ESD and environmental education policies were analyzed and examined. In particular, Chinese Legalism was used as a lens to interpret the government’s philosophy, assumptions, unspoken norms, legislative practices, and deliberate strategies. Several principles and techniques proposed by Chinese Legalists were used to examine the negotiation and formulation of Taiwan’s Environmental Education Act. This analysis contributes to our understanding of the ways in which UNESCO’s framework of ESD can be transferred into a national policy. A discussion of the Chinese Legalist philosophy also offers a cultural frame of reference to think about ESD politics and governance in other East Asian contexts.

This article has taken a closer look on some of the aspects of the environmental learning project “Lære med skogen” (LMS) from the Forestry institute (Skogbrukets kursinstitutt) to consider its value in relation to education when it comes to sustainable development. The analysis of the 61 tuition activities in the digital learning resource “Uteskoleveven”, shows that the forest is not being presented as a functioning ecosystem, to the extent that it should. It is significant to highlight the forest’s ecosystem, if one is to use it as a classroom to teach about sustainable development. More ecological knowledge is essential in these activities and has to be present. In addition, more of the activities should be emphasizing the importance of dead wood being essential to the function of the forest’s ecosystem. If the students are meant to develop an understanding for the sustainable development in a forest, a theory about the forest as a functioning ecosystem has to be focused upon, taught in an environment with specific ecological qualities.

And Behavior

Character education in a micro context, centered on a holistic education unit. Education unit is the main sector that optimally utilizes and empowers all existing learning environments to initiate, improve, strengthen, and continuously enhance the character education process in educational units. Education is what will make serious efforts and always be at the forefront of efforts to form the true character of Indonesian people. Character development is divided into four pillars, namely teaching and learning activities in class, daily activities in the form of cultural development of educational units; co-curricular and / or extra-curricular activities, as well as daily activities at home and in the community. In order to realize the goals of education in schools, effective management is required, with the aim of ensuring: 1) community access to adequate education services; 2) the quality and competitiveness of education and its relevance to the needs of society; and 3) effectiveness, efficiency and accountability of education management. Appearance, service, & achievement (3P) are not new things in schools, but in fact there are still schools that do not pay attention to 3Ps properly. For example, there is still a school identity in the form of a school name board which is in a dull and rotten condition so that it cannot be read clearly & cannot provide accurate information about the school. Another example, there are still schools that ignore cleanliness, safety, comfort & beauty of the school environment such as yards, rooms (buildings) & others. Likewise, the school's lack of attention to neatness, cleanliness & harmony in the appearance and behavior shown by its residents. According to Simon Philips, character is a collection of values that lead to a system, which underlies the thoughts, attitudes and behaviors that are displayed. Meanwhile, Doni Koesoema understands that character is the same as personality. Personality is considered as a characteristic, or characteristic, or style, or characteristic characteristic of a person that comes from formations received from the environment. In this sense the root of all evil and evil acts, evil acts, lies in the loss of character. Strong character is a fundamental view which gives the human population the ability to live together in peace and form a world filled with good and virtue, free from violence and immoral acts.

Participatory Method

Waste management should be carried out by implementing the concept of the 3Rs. Waste is generated in various places including in schools. Students frequently do not collect the waste into a trash can and often leave the waste in the schoolyard, desk drawers. Even though the slogan “keep the school clean” is instructed to the students, but they still often litter the school environment. This activity aims to improve students’ litter education in waste management by implementing the 3Rs and providing trash cans with attractive pictures to attract students to collect the waste into the trash cans. The method was participatory method and training to manage waste based on the concept of the 3Rs. The result shows that students were able to manage waste by applying the concept of the 3Rs. Students understood the concepts of the 3Rs, and created some products such as phone stand, hand soap dispenser, and reusable grocery bags. Trash cans with attractive pictures were provided in several areas around the school such as teachers’ room, canteen, and classroom. Students actively participated in waste management by applying the 3Rs. This activity beneficially reduces environmental pollution and simultaneously improves personal autonomy in environmental sustainability.

Crucial Difference

The circular economy (CE) is considered a key economic model to meet the challenge of sustainable development. Strenous efforts are focused on the transformation of waste into resources that can be reintroduced into the economic system through proper management. In this way, the linear and waste-producing value chain problems are solved, making them circular, and more sustainable solutions are proposed in those chains already benefiting from circular processes, so that waste generation and waste are reduced on the one hand, and on the other, the non-efficient consumption of resources decreases. In the face of this current tide, there is another option that proposes a certain nuance, based on the premise that, although circular systems promote sustainability, it does not mean that they are in themselves sustainable, given that, in the first place, the effects of CE on sustainable development are not fully known and, on the other hand, the CE model includes the flow of materials, with only scant consideration of the flow of non-material resources (water, soil and energy). This paper aims to contrast both currents from an empirical viewpoint. To achieve this, a sustainability analysis of the circular waste management systems measured through a sustainability indicator, the carbon footprint (CF), as a main sustainable indicator in climate change action, is carried out. A crucial difference between circular models that promote waste management and those that do not is found in the collective systems of extended producer responsibility (or CPR). One of the most efficient recycling processes in Europe, waste tire management, has been chosen. Thus, the aim is to verify the sense of including environmental sustainability indicators, as CF, in the process of these systems. A sustainability management model (SBA) applies to End-of Life tire collection systems (ELT). This model is based on the accumulation of environmental impacts through the activities that generate them. To be transparent, this study requires a publicly recognized CF, so the study is focused on SIGNUS, the main Spanish waste tires CPR. The results achieved allow us to conclude that CF is much lower using CPR than non-linear processes. Despite the role that CPR have in the management and use of waste as secondary raw material, it is a priority to focus efforts on their redesign in order to reduce waste. In terms of circular economy, all actions are necessary in order to achieve system efficiencies, even when externalities occur in this process.

This paper will look into the agenda of the United Nations (UN) for the planned global, social and environmental progression in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially goals on the quality of education and responsible consumption and production. The combination of these two goals touched on quality education in the field of fashion and also fostered a responsible attitude among producers and consumers. Hence, educators, designers and manufacturers need to ensure the process and production of eco-friendly products do not harm consumers and nature while reducing the amount of waste. Responsibilities of the manufacturers are in terms of producing and adopting sustainable methods in production of textile and clothing products. Furthermore, consumer attitudes and behaviors are also very influential in utilizing of textile products considering the environmental sustainability aspects. In this study, critical review of relevant literature will be conducted. In the context of education for fashion conservation, it is important to raise awareness on the responsibilities of educators, students, consumers and producers on the importance of conserving the environment for future generations. All parties need to play their role in realizing the aspirations of the SDGs agenda. This aspiration can be achieved in an integrated manner through a combination of sustainable practices, positive attitudes and behaviors.
