Visit Otres
Tired of Chinese gangsters shooting and stabbing each other outside of world class casinos? Just a few minutes up the road are the paradise beaches of Otres. Shitsville- You'll Wish You Never Came.
Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.

How many of those plastic bottles would be on that beach if they had a 10 cent deposit/return on them? A bit much for KOW but that's what it is here in Oregon. Something needs to be done about that shit.

Consumer pays a deposit to the retailer/merchant for a bottled good. Used bottle is returned to any merchant, retailer or store for deposit paid. Merchant then returns used bottles to recycler.

Have you ever heard of single use plastics? And just how many times do you think they can recycle that shit?Sonic1 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 12:01 amConsumer pays a deposit to the retailer/merchant for a bottled good.

Yep. Just got back from Walmart with my own reusable bag as single use plastic bags were banned July 1. If you don't have ur own bag-paper bags are a nickle. Reusable bags are a dollar with the cute Walmart logo on the side.. I think the UK are banning single use as well as Vannautu and Kenya. No ban yet in Mississippi or Cambodia. Don't know about Texas......

The subject is plastic. The greater effect of Belt and Road on the Cambodian people and their environment. I've been living in and visiting Cambodia well before your cave dwelling sort ever set foot there. Stop insulting posters or telling them to "shut the fuck up" when presented with a logical argument.

Sonic, BSCW is a complete moron. Don't trip. "Major" stores in Cambodia now charge for plastic bags and also sell reusable bags. However that won't solve one major problem: Cambodians tend to not give a flying fuck about trash disposal. As long as trash can't be seen, everything is gravy (it's the same in the west tbh).
You'll see scavengers going through piles of trash in Cambodia. If they collect plastic bottles, they must be getting some kind of money for them, right? In the US, most recyclables are not recycled. The whole "be green" movement is just a feel-good thing. We just ship our trash to less attractive countries like Cambodia or Senegal. Out of sight, out of mind.
Now, Cambodia has a more Bentleys and Range Rovers than garbage trucks. Our Senior Economist BSCW has no understanding of Cambodia's economic landscape when it comes down to trash. Trash in Cambodia isn't a lucrative business (yet). Add to this the relationship that Cambodians have with trash disposal, and you got yourself a recipe for disaster.
What needs to be done, from both the West and Cambodia, is to accept that Cambodia is doomed. It will never be what it once was. From there, we should adopt the former Chinese business model and import trash for a fee. That could boost the economy and increase the availability of public services (and maybe create jobs), but then again, it's Cambodia. There would just be more Bentleys cruising around Trashcity.

Sad to see Otres like that. Waste management has never seemed to be a priority in Asia per se.

Many of my students cared very much about trashy streets. I even had one student say she thoughts those who littered should have as harsh a punishment as murderers - several other students agreed.Ginkgo Biloba wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 12:47 pmSonic, BSCW is a complete moron.

Realizing that there is in fact a problem and that it should be addressed is a healthy first step.violet wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 5:32 amMany of my students cared very much about trashy streets.
