Education, especially character education, is related to the development of human morality and spirituality from an environmental perspective. This understanding of waste management is related to the character of caring for the environment based on various existing character values. One way of managing waste in schools is by establishing a waste bank. Therefore, this study aims to explain the optimization of waste banks in schools as an effort to overcome environmental pollution through education. This study took the research location at the Adiwiyata school in the Subang Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach. The researchers used observations, documentation, and interviews with students, teachers, employees, and school residents. Data analysis and research results are presented descriptively using the Miles Huberman model. The study results show that education-based solutions in overcoming pollution and protecting the environment through optimizing the waste bank at Adiwiyata elementary school run effectively and can be one of the means of environmental care education. This is evidenced by the active participation of all relevant parties in the school in the implementation of the waste bank program, which includes students, teachers, employees, and other school residents.

Environmental damage is caused by people interference with nature. It has been assumed that people's personalities and intelligence influence the ecosystem. Research aims to find out the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and naturalistic intelligence (NI) with people's citizenship behavior (CB). A survey method has been applied by involving 80 people as a sample. Three instruments for measuring LOC, NI, and people’s CB. Regression and correlational analysis used to verify its relationship. Research results reveal that there is a positive and significant correlation between LOC and CB, NI, and CB, finally between LOC and NI with CB. Multiple regression and correlation used to predict people's CB in terms of how people live with nature harmoniously based on people's LOC and NI. The implications that LOC and NI is one part to improve wise behavior towards the environment in society is related to the LOC and NI of each individual
