Ecobrick is Reviewed as the Source of Learning, Creativity, and Environmental Care Attitude
Summary
Researchers found that using ecobricks — plastic bottles packed tightly with non-recyclable waste — as a hands-on learning resource significantly improved Indonesian students' creativity scores and environmental awareness, offering a dual benefit of waste reduction and education.
The purpose of this study was to determine the use of ecobrick as a source of learning science, creativity and environmental care for students.Waste piles in Indonesia are increasing and it is projected that they will continue to increase as the population increases.Garbage is the residue of human activity that is no longer used but can be used.By learning how to process waste into ecobricks, you can reduce plastic waste and reduce environmental pollution.This research method uses an experimental method, namely by collecting pre-test and post-test data on creativity and environmental care attitudes before and after using ecobricks as a learning resource.The results of this study indicate that learning with ecobricks can increase creativity from the previous 67.45 to 89.64.Ecobricks can also increase the attitude of caring for the environment from 67.04 to 73.52.
