This Community Service activity aims to raise environmental awareness through a framework of religious moderation in Pagarbata Hamlet, Sidorejo Village, Kotaanyar District, Probolinggo Regency. The main focus of this program is to minimize air pollution through the development of low-emission waste incineration facilities. This project is not only technical, but also touches on spiritual aspects rooted in the values of tawazzun (balance) and hifzhul bi'ah (nature conservation). Through the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method in the KKN program, students work with residents starting from socialization, designing incinerators based on local materials, to operational training. Data was collected directly from the field through observation, casual discussions with 25 residents, and environmental impact assessments. The result, in addition to reduced smoke pollution, residents' understanding of environmental ethics in Islam jumped from 45% to 85%. Now, residents are starting to get used to sorting waste independently. This initiative is proof that religious moderation is not just a theory, but a practical solution in maintaining harmony between humans and nature as a real manifestation of rahmatan lil alamin.
