The researcher uses a type of experimental research (quasi experiment design). The sampling technique taken was a purposive sampling technique obtained from students of class VII A (N = 32) which is an experimental class by applying Problem Based Learning and students of class VII G (N = 31) which is a control class using conventional learning. The data collection technique used is a test for environmental literacy. Based on the results of the analysis from the Independent T-Test through the results of the environmental literacy posttest, which is 0.011. The results of the research that has been conducted show that the environmental literacy ability of students, especially in the experimental class on the knowledge indicator, has an N-Gain result of 0.55 in the medium category, cognitive ability has an N-Gain result of 0.49 in the medium category, students' attitudes towards the environment have an average of 81.21 in the good category, and students' behavior towards the environment has an average of 72.01 in the good category.
