Abstract

The Thematic Community Service Program (KKNT) of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo in Bukit Tingki Village, Popayato District, Pohuwato Regency, was conducted as a community service activity addressing energy conservation, food security, and environmental preservation. This program aimed to empower local resources through the utilization of ijuk fiber nets as a Green Curtain, improve community knowledge regarding energy conservation, and strengthen environmental awareness. The implementation methods included an initial survey, community outreach, discussions, training, mentoring, passion fruit planting, Green Curtain installation, and program evaluation. The activities were conducted through a participatory approach involving the village government, village officials, and the local community. The results showed that the Green Curtain program could contribute to improving community understanding and awareness of energy conservation and environmental preservation. The planting of passion fruit also provided additional benefits in terms of food security and potential economic value for the community. The people of Bukit Tingki Village showed positive enthusiasm toward the program and were able to utilize the passion fruit produced from the planted crops. Therefore, the utilization of ijuk fiber nets as a Green Curtain can serve as a community empowerment strategy that integrates environmental conservation, energy efficiency, food security, and local economic potential.
