gaplem, I understand your point of view. From an uninformed perspective, without understanding latest policies put in place (albeit far too little has been done, but some change has happened indeed), then it can seem like there isn’t much hope. BUt a LOT more is going on behind the scenes than one would imagine and having direct insight into some of the projects at the Ministry of Environment in terms of behavior change and solutions, there has indeed been a LOT of change. Think back to 4 years ago, and looking at the systems in place now, … well, Rome wasn’t built in a day… and Cambodia’s issues won’t all get fixed immediately. but some great steps have already been set in motion.

Banlle is a vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Siem Reap that should be on the list. No single-use plastic, composting, etc.

Well, if we look back at 3 years ago – there is a progress, obviously. The issue is being noticed. It was not on the agenda before. More and more activities taking place, more organizations are being engaged. Yes, lots of work to be done.

We would love to update the list with Siem Reap restaurants, but since most of our members are in Phnom Penh we need some help from the SR community.
