The documents analysis was the syllabus of environmental courses in four science education study program in Indonesia. Quantitatively showed that the environmental education at science education study program was very minimal, it was only 1 to 2 subjects which consist of 2 to 5 credits, or it is around 1,37%-3,42% from the total term that must be learned. Qualitatively showed that most of the materials on the environmental education subject was very general and basic. The low carbon education materials related to current environmental conditions such as the greenhouse gas, CO2 emission, global warming, green energy, climate change, including green technology was thought very minimal. It can be concluded that environmental lectures in science education study program are currently very minimal teaching about the substance of low carbon education, so it must be reproduced and used as a core content of the environmental materials taught.
