This study discusses strategies for improving students' environmental care character in one of the elementary schools in Subang Regency, West Java province with subjects of the research were elementary school teachers and sixth grade elementary school students.. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach with a case study research method and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques.
