Installing a Waste Care Education Program from an Early Age
Abstract
The waste consists of useless materials that must be discarded or removed. The statement, as mentioned earlier, is an understanding of the waste of the previous paradigm of thought; now, we must establish a new paradigm in which waste can generate income and bring advantages. Children must be taught from a young age that waste has numerous benefits and can generate income to influence future generations to be more concerned about waste issues. Children who get early childhood education are encouraged to care about the environment from an early age. To do so, they must be accustomed to environmental care activities, such as sorting waste by kind and depositing it properly, caring for hydroponic plants, bioports, waste alms, waste banks, etc. Implementing some of these procedures can protect the earth and mitigate the issue of waste piles. This research aims to see the responses and actions of children in the care of the environment, one of which is waste management. It also introduces early childhood how to manage waste properly so that they can keep the environment clean and sustainable. The novelty of this research involves children protecting the environment and processing waste directly in early childhood. The care for a waste program implemented in early childhood education immediately becomes a warning to us, with the image of the earth sobbing, bearing the burden of waste disposed of carelessly by its inhabitants. This results in a large amount of not managed waste, and the earth cannot decompose them. Eventually, the trash's original shape didn't change.
Keywords: early childhood education, waste care education program, environmental care.
