People polluted Angkor Wat area during Khmer New Year 2014-photo shared by fb users
My dear compatriots, all of us should learn to appreciate and protect our environment starting from just putting own wastes in the bins, keep the place where we go and left clean, take few minutes to clean up the streets in front of our own house/apartment, do not throw rubbish from your car or other vehicles, reduce the use of plastic bags by using cloth bags, plant more trees in your community etc. These are few things that you could do on your own and it costs almost nothing, but a strong will for change. And it could contribute to keep our country clean and green.
Actually, it is not difficult at all. People do need to change their bad behavior by learning to adopt progressive and responsible behavior. People do need to start initiative. Mainstream and new social media need to focus and advertise for clean environment. Politicians and old people need to act as role models. Awareness campaign needed to be launched on a permanent basis. Fine should be introduced for misconduct in the public space. Business needs to explore creative ideas to protect environment. The government has launched the “Clean City, Clean Resort, Clean Environment” already; but more actions need to be undertaken to force people to change and to learn new way of life.
Clean environment starts from YOU.
