Abstract

This paper focuses on the search for a new paradigm of character education for environmental care (CEEC) and offers the concept of CEEC based on Islamic ethical values. This research uses a qualitative approach that is descriptive-explorative. The environmental damage that has occurred a lot does not only require repair and recovery, but also efforts to prevent environmental damage. CEEC is the main key in the effort to prevent environmental damage. CEEC based on Islamic ethical values, such as qanā’ah (contentment), Ihsān (kindness), ri’āyah (care), and masūliyyah (responsibility). Qanā’ah is believed to be able to overcome the tendency of greed and consumerism, both of which are recognized as the cause of environmental damage. Ihsān means kindness, fosters a gentle attitude and prudence in acting on the environment. Ri’āyah will encourage measures to protect and care for the environment. Masūliyyah will increase awareness of duties and obligations to preserve the environment.
