people concerning about it. Green Hope aims to raise the awareness of people in
Cambodia especially the youth to have a better understanding of this issue and see
how it can effect to the human life which live under the sanitation line. Waste
2. Management is the main problem which people should taking care of it since it’s not
just anyone obligation but everyone because we are all living in one environment.
And if anyone ask you about what kind of environment you want to live in, of course
your answer will be a clean and fresh one, but have you asked yourself how can you
live in that kind of environment you want. It requires all of us to be aware of it, and
there are many activities that cause it due to the environment issue, hygiene level, and
lack of space, and advanced technology, science, polluting, and global warming,
particularly to the countries in line of developing zones. It effect to the human health
and pollute the environment seriously like air pollution, water pollution, land/soil
pollution, and beautiful landscape of the country. There is 928 tons of garbage that
Phnom Penh generates every day, and there is only one company name CINTRI who
is responsible for cleaning and delivering those rubbish to the other area outside the
city, so they could not control all those things and it making the city become
unhealthy. And if the local people still ignore this problem, in the next decade the
rubbish is expected to nearly double to 1,700 tons a day. That’s why we the people
and youth should realize of these problems and start action to help our environment in
our community to be cleaner by acting role model and educate them some practical
solutions.
