Environmental learning that tackles the issue of waste management at the elementary school level has been placed in the guidelines for the national curriculum. The program is being implemented in fourth-year Social Studies classes. In addition, environmental education highlighting practical 3R activities is also sometimes being introduced in comprehensive school learning courses. Of course, this is not limited to only fourth-year students, other students are also learning about waste and resource utilization. The author introduces the establishment of an environmental curriculum for sixth-year students, in which topics such as lost belongings are taken up in order to touch on areas that are close to the hearts of younger students.
