Abstract

Environmental awareness and clean and healthy living behaviors need to be instilled from an early age through various habituation activities in elementary schools. One effort is the implementation of the 3T habituation program as part of character education and an environmentally conscious school culture. This study aimed to examine students’ environmental care character and clean and healthy living behaviors through the habituation of bringing a Lunch Box, Tumbler, and Tote Bag (3T) at SDN Serang 20. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings showed that the 3T habituation program at SDN Serang 20 had been implemented systematically and consistently with the support of school programs, teachers, and all members of the school community. The implementation of the 3T habituation program was considered fairly good and demonstrated effectiveness in developing students’ environmental awareness character and clean and healthy living behaviors. Therefore, habituating students to bring a lunch box, tumbler, and tote bag can serve as a practical strategy for strengthening environmental care and clean and healthy living habits in elementary schools.
