Climate change and other environmental problems have become a global concern. Intrinsically, this creates higher education institutions such as Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) taking part in various green campus measurements to address this problem. This study analyzes the factors of how higher education institutions such as UMY and USM initiate green campuses and sustainable universities. It assumes these two universities align with the implementation of green campus initiation despite their different university status. This research is qualitative research using a comparative study between UMY and USM. This research data uses interviews from the university website, …

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Nigeria's low level of sanitation hygiene provoked the increasing prevalence and containment of infectious diseases such as bird flu, acute respiratory infections, Ebola, Lassa fever, polio, diarrheal, pneumonia, and dysentery. These diseases can attack vulnerable groups like children. Therefore, awareness of hand hygiene practices is still needed to prevent the spread of diseases.

Life Cycle Assessment In Supply Chain Management Game, Natalia Hartono, Laurence Laurence, Giovanni Hezekiah Chandra

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Educational games are essential in explaining theories to students as such activities create a fun learning environment. Most educational games in supply chain management (SCM) are focused on SCM or logistics theories. In the last decades, the research in environmentally conscious SCM has increased. However, the educational games related to such SCM are limited. This work is the first to use the detailed life cycle assessment (LCA) approach in teaching students SCM. The research output is a game called “Robo Factory,” which involves a simulation of a robot production supply chain. The research objective is to educate undergraduate students about …
