Environmental Impact in Cambodia

Environmental Impact in Cambodia

Environment is everything around us and it is also the main point for Cambodia development. However, there are some problems of pollution and rubbish, which cause by tourists and also the local people. For example, the amounts of buses, cars and motor bikes have increased every year because of tourist. Therefore, the exhaust fumes can easily makes air pollution that is not good for human health then this dirty air also change the climate and create acid rain. As a result, if we keep breathing that dirty air, we will get sick, and also this acid rain can damages the temples and kills many fishes and plants. Thus, if we are going anywhere, walking on the street or riding a bicycle, we need to wear a mask because it can protect us from the pollution. Because the number of hotels and restaurants increased, those hotels and restaurant start to use big diesel generators which will lead to more and more CO2 emission. For this problem, the government should introduce new laws to control car ownership and cut down the amount of tourist. For example, creating, improving and increasing the public transport and help the government to reduce the amount of private cars. However, In Siem Reap is a tourism city, which people lives depend all of those tourists to come and visit. Therefore, the government needs to control and manage the number of tourist. Beside air pollution, for the littering problem the government should educate the people about the environment and provide more rubbish bins especially in the public places, and encourage the people to use it. As we can see and know that on every ceremony there are parties and celebration, and after that events finishing, there are a lot of rubbish around that areas. All in all, we need our country to have a perfect environment with fresh air that could attract many tourist come and visit, and these also can be involve in economic too because it provides many jobs and money to Cambodian people.

  1. Thank you for sharing your opinions. I agree about the rubbish problem. I think that people know they are not supposed to throw trash into the street, but it seems that no one cares, or it's such a habit that everyone still does it. I also think we need to reduce the use of plastic bags and styrofoam containers. These things are horrible for the environment, but they are used everywhere!
