PHNOM PENH, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia supports the Project of Cold Earth in 2050, which aims to protect the earth's environment from climate change and global warming, said Prime Minister Hun Sen here on Thursday.
"Cambodia strongly supports the Project of Cold Earth in 2050, which was set up in Kyoto to reduce environmental change around the world," he told the construction ceremony of counter-flood facilities on the Tonle Sap River bank in Phnom Penh.
Meanwhile, he appealed for the people living in Phnom Penh to join their hands to clean the city, protect the environment, care about their health and improve the sanitation.
About 9,000 tons of polluted water and wastes flowed from the city into the Tonle Sap River each day, he said.
The facilities were built in the spirit of environment protection and will help reduce pollution and safeguard climate security, he added.

But I just wonder if you have heard about the amount of waste being scattered around the city each day? The only existing landfill since 1965 so called Steoung Mean Chey (SMC)is almost becoming a waste mountain in our city, sir. Due to the lack of budget, very bad landfill operation is preforming daily because CINTRI (the only private firm) pays just 10,000$ of tipping fee/month which is not enough for the sanitary landfill operation. SMC will no longer be able to accept 1,000ton of waste/day. So do you think about the surrouding environmental problems occure there.???? What about lives of Waste pickers?????
Waste pickers know the risk that come with the job.
Landfill is a problem for all urban around the world go ask:
Paris, tokyo, New York even London!
