Permasalahan sampah plastik di lingkungan sekolah memerlukan pendekatan edukatif yang tidak hanya membangun kepedulian lingkungan, tetapi juga mengembangkan literasi finansial sejak usia dini. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan memberikan pemahaman awal mengenai pengelolaan dan nilai ekonomi sampah plastik, mengenalkan konsep tabungan berbasis sampah, serta memperoleh gambaran mengenai respons siswa terhadap Gerakan Sekolah Hijau Cerdas Finansial berbasis ATM EcoSmart Kidz. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SD Negeri Utama 6 Cimahi melalui tahapan koordinasi dan identifikasi kebutuhan mitra, persiapan, sosialisasi, evaluasi awal dan penyusunan rencana tindak lanjut. Sosialisasi diikuti oleh sekitar 120 siswa kelas I–V melalui pemaparan interaktif, video edukatif, permainan, tanya jawab, dan simulasi konseptual. Evaluasi dilakukan setelah kegiatan terhadap 15 siswa kelas III–V menggunakan angket yang terdiri atas 12 pernyataan tertutup dan dua pertanyaan terbuka. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa 98,89% dari keseluruhan respons berada pada pilihan “Ya”, 1,11% pada pilihan “Ragu-ragu”, dan tidak terdapat respons “Tidak”. Jawaban terbuka menunjukkan bahwa siswa mampu mengungkapkan kembali pesan mengenai pemilahan dan pemanfaatan sampah, tabungan berbasis sampah, serta rencana tindakan untuk menjaga lingkungan, membangun kebiasaan menabung, dan melibatkan teman maupun keluarga. Kegiatan ini menghasilkan penerimaan awal yang positif dan menjadi dasar pengembangan serta implementasi ATM EcoSmart Kidz secara berkelanjutan. Evaluasi lanjutan diperlukan untuk mengukur perubahan pengetahuan, kebiasaan pengelolaan sampah, dan perkembangan literasi finansial setelah media diimplementasikan.

Abstract

Plastic waste problems in school environments require an educational approach that not only fosters environmental awareness but also develops financial literacy from an early age. This community service program aimed to provide students with an initial understanding of plastic waste management and its economic value, introduce the concept of waste-based savings, and describe students’ responses to the ATM EcoSmart Kidz-based Green and Financially Smart School Movement. The program was conducted at SD Negeri Utama 6 Cimahi through four stages: coordination and identification of partner needs, preparation, socialization, and initial evaluation and follow-up planning. Approximately 120 students in Grades I–V participated in interactive presentations, educational videos, games, question-and-answer activities, and conceptual simulations. Following the activity, 15 students in Grades III–V completed an evaluation questionnaire consisting of 12 closed-ended statements and two open-ended questions. The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed that 98.89% of all responses were “Yes,” 1.11% were “Undecided,” and no “No” responses were recorded. The open-ended responses indicated that students were able to restate key messages related to waste sorting and utilization, waste-based savings, and intended actions to protect the environment, develop saving habits, and involve friends and family. The activity generated positive initial acceptance and provided a foundation for the further development and sustainable implementation of ATM EcoSmart Kidz. Further evaluation is required to examine changes in students’ knowledge, waste-management practices, and financial literacy after the media is implemented.
