This is the third year that I have been studying in Liger Learning Center school. In Liger as you know we did a lot of exploration that guide us to change our country. The concern in Cambodia that I see every days is people have limited of education. Cambodian have limited education on waste. Currently there is lot of plastic waste everywhere in Cambodia. Plastic effect a lot of things in the world. It effect the environment, human, and aquatic animal. The bad impact for the environment is plant. We can not grow the plants with the soil that have plastic in it, because it doesn’t give nutrient to the plant. And if you burn the plastic it will release Carbon Dioxide so it caused climate change. The plastic has a lot of chemical in it , so when you burn it the chemical go into the air. And people breathed the chemical in and the people can get cancer disease. For the aquatic animal, plastic killed a lot of animals. When people throw the plastic in the water so the animal eat it because they think that is there food. For the organic waste people in cambodia burn it. They don’t know the effect that it give from burning the organic waste. When you burn the organic waste it will make the methane gas and methane gas is 21 hotter than Carbon Dioxide. After I learned about the waste I really like to share all of the information that I had studied. I shared some of the information with my family and my friend. By sharing them the information I hoped that they will tell it to their family and friends. So Cambodia will get better with education about waste.
I have not really done any big change in my country because I am still young. But what I can do is by sharing information that I had learned in my school. So it’s not a really big change.
