Abstract

Environmental stability and effective resource management are crucial for a comfortable living environment and addressing emerging issues. This study aims to enhance environmental culture, especially among the younger generation, by raising awareness about environmental issues with a focus on water and waste management. Educational initiatives, including lectures and promotional materials, were developed and implemented to foster environmental responsibility. Additionally, videos on water and waste problems were produced and broadcast on central TV channels to reach a wider audience. The study found that these educational and media efforts significantly increased environmental awareness and improved public attitudes toward sustainability. The videos were particularly effective in highlighting key issues and driving behavioral changes. The results demonstrate that integrating environmental education and media outreach is a practical approach for promoting sustainability. This model can be adapted by other regions to enhance environmental practices and awareness, underscoring the need for such initiatives in public policy.
