Abstract: This document discusses the importance of instilling environmental awareness in students across various educational levels, from elementary to high school. Based on a literature review, efforts to enhance environmental awareness among students have been conducted through various approaches, such as project-based learning utilizing the school environment, sustainable community science and technology education, and simple observations in elementary school settings. The research method used in this document is qualitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis employs concepts from Taherdoost (2020), including data entry, missing data, and data transformation. This study explores the abilities of teacher candidates in madrasah ibtidaiyah to observe and document waste management issues in their surroundings. The results indicate that the candidates can identify various problems, such as blocked drainage, waste accumulation at temporary disposal sites, and litter scattered along roads and rivers. Additionally, the candidates develop leadership skills in formulating waste management recommendations that include increasing community awareness, improving waste management facilities, reducing waste, and empowering the community. The study also suggests the need to strengthen stakeholder capacities in waste management and to integrate environmental education to foster environmental awareness among students.
