You don't have to wait till grocery bags are banned: Say no to plastic or paper ones now. Instead, bring your own reusable shopping bags. Consider an entire set of reusable, double-handled hemp bags that work great for a large order, and reusable organic cotton mesh bags for your fruits and vegetables.
For trips to the mall, opt for one of the new, eco-chic bags from sources such as Reusablebags. These funky, graphically inspired totes and messenger bags are crafted from unlikely materials such as rice, and sewn by hand in small batches in Cambodia. EcoBags, another source, carries totes made from recycled cotton, as well as a recycled cotton lunch sack to replace the brown bag or Ziploc.
Or better yet, buy a FEED bag and support a project started by Lauren Bush, an honorary spokesperson for the UN World Food Program. Proceeds from the sale go to feed a child for a school year. The goal: Reduce the billions of plastic and paper bags headed for a landfill near you with a smarter answer.

I think we should try to use more lotus leafs to wrap some of the foods like in the old days. it grows very fast too, and when you are done, you can just buried it and let it decompose or let dry then burn it.
To save the evironment and earth, People must work together to check what is good and what bad to use for the environment. But I have so little to believe that people in Cambodia have that kind of conscience. Areak Prey
Well, we don't need any conscience since we never abused our environment in the first place. It is your stupid westerner trained people who turned us on to plastic shits and destroyed our environment.
Happy Bonn Om Tuok (Water Festival)!
Gen. Ke Kimyan: After the holiday, the new transitional government and the transitional prime minister will be installed.
