Implementasi Education Of Sustainable Development (ESD) Dalam Pengolahan Limbah Organik Menjadi Kompos

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of sustainable education (Education for Sustainable Development, ESD) in managing organic waste in two schools, SMPN 1 Lawang Kidul and SMPN 1 Ujan Mas. Activities include material counseling, compost making practices, as well as evaluation using pretest and posttest methods to measure increases in student knowledge. The results showed a significant increase in students' knowledge level after the activity. Of the 30 participants at SMPN 1 Lawang Kidul, there was an increase of 121%. Meanwhile, the 37 participants at SMPN 1 Ujan Mas achieved an average increase in knowledge of 42.78%. This is because students at SMPN 1 Ujan Mas have higher initial knowledge abilities compared to students at SMPN 1 Lawang Kidul. This research highlights the importance of ESD in increasing students' environmental awareness and making a positive contribution to organic waste management practices in schools.
