Sciences are framed as essential to daily life, while technology embodies systemic application that can ease living and create tangible benefits when guided by religion. Without religious inspiration, scientific progress may cause environmental disaster rooted in spiritual emptiness and ethical failures. Islam religion education is presented as an academic medium to filter harmful human actions toward nature, integrating sciences, technology, and environment to harmonize knowledge. A qualitative case study gathers data via observation, interviews, and documentation.

However, it will bring disaster instead when it is not inspired by religion. One of the destructive impacts of science advancement is environmental crisis. This environmental crisis occurs because of spiritual emptiness, human are far from God. They succumb to greed and keep themselves away from God’s moral guideline and lack ethics in interacting with God’s other creatures. In the academic world, Islam Religion learning constitutes a medium to filter or minimize some human destructive measures to the nature, making the integration of sciences, technology and environment in learning a key to the creation of sciences, technology and environment harmonization. Using qualitative research with a case study approach, it is expected that the ideal picture of science-technology and living environment sinergy can be obtained. The data are collected using observation, interview and documentation and analyzed using reduction, display and conclusion techniques as well as data verification. The research results indicate that the integration of science-technology and living environment constitutes the highest truth, i.e. the empirical truth which symbolizes the might of Allah, the Almighty Creator, and an effort of synergizing the qauliyah (textual) and kauniyah (universal) verses and of indirectly eliminating the scientific dichotomy. This synergy pattern will never be manifested without Islam Religion Education learning in academic context at schools, particularly Adiwiyata schools which implement the integration pattern of science-technology and environment integrally.

A clean and healthy environment is of course dreamt of by any educational institution anywhere and anytime. A clean and healthy school environment is also a reflection of how members of the school, ranging from students to teachers to staff to employees and finally to the school leaders, treasure hygiene. One noble character a school must internalize to their students according to Kemendiknas (2010) is environmental care. This environmental care character is an attitude and action where an individual keeps on trying to prevent the natural environment around them from being damaged and developing efforts to remidy any existing environmental damage (Wibowo & Gunawan, 2015) . One of the causes of environmental crisis is spiritual emptiness which initially begins with disorientation towards life. This disorientation towards life here can be
