Abstract

Environmental issues in Bumi Ayu Subdistrict are characterized by a low level of public awareness and understanding of the impacts of environmentally unfriendly behaviors, including the use of single-use plastics, water pollution, and waste burning. This condition presents a significant challenge to the implementation of sustainable development at the community level, particularly in maintaining environmental quality and public health. This community service activity aims to enhance community participation in environmental conservation and to strengthen social awareness of sustainable development through a participatory and educative approach. The methods employed include interactive presentations, group discussions, and the development of informational media as accessible and effective educational tools for various community groups. The results indicate an improvement in community understanding of the relationship between daily behaviors and environmental degradation, accompanied by the emergence of collective awareness and active participation in environmental conservation initiatives such as waste management, waste sorting, and greening programs. Overall, this activity contributes to encouraging behavioral change toward environmentally responsible practices, fostering shared responsibility, and supporting sustainable social and environmental development in the local community.
