Abstract

Environmental issues are no longer a concern of one field, collaboration of several scientific disciplines will provide many solutions to save and preserve the environment which incidentally cannot be released from human life. This paper aims to uncover a number of concepts about the potential that exist in the study of language and literature in contributing to the development of education and environmental ethics, in the context of Indonesia’s territory and globally. Some crucial questions in this paper are: 1) whether children’s literature can be material and media in fostering education and environmental ethics; 2) how is the environmental representation in children’s literature viewed from the perspective of language and literature studies? The method used in this paper is the study of literature. This paper is expected to produce a new approach in instilling environmental education. In this case, covering environmental awareness and ethics, especially among children, as an effort to care for and develop human life more advanced and sustainable. Based on a comprehensive literature review, it was found that children’s literature as an art product that offers imaginative as well as didactic stories can be a source of material for environmental education among children.
