Environmental education is an educational program aimed at changing attitudes and behavior so that they can think and act rationally, can protect the environment, and are responsible for the quality of life now and in the future through the educational process. Environmental education plays an essential role in efforts to prevent and preserve the environment, especially related to global environmental issues in the Era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0 where there has been a lot of environmental damage due to changes in lifestyle in the use of technological developments. This study describes the development of an environmental learning model with a religious approach. The focus of the study is on controlling wasteful behavior in the environment, which results in a lot of plastic waste being produced. The model developed combines thematic learning, religious learning, and environmental education to apply the 5R concept (rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle). Environmental education with the 5R concept is expected to be used as a guide in behavior, as well as a medium for transferring knowledge, instilling values, and forming habits or culture that are environmentally sound.
