Here at Reservoir Hotels, we believe that luxury and responsibility go hand-in-hand. We are constantly striving to enhance your experience while also safeguarding the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Cambodia. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to share a significant step in our journey towards a more sustainable future: our partnership with The Red Road Foundation.
From this day forward, you’ll notice a small but mighty change in our resort. We have proudly eliminated single-use plastic straws, replacing them entirely with beautiful, locally sourced bamboo straws.
Why Bamboo? And Why The Red Road Foundation?
The decision to switch to bamboo straws was an easy one. Plastic pollution is a global crisis, and we are committed to doing our part to reduce our environmental footprint. Bamboo is not only a natural, renewable resource, but it also brings a touch of authentic Cambodian charm to your refreshing drinks.
But our commitment goes deeper than just the material. Our partnership with The Red Road Foundation (www.theredroadfoundation.org) transforms this simple switch into a powerful initiative. This incredible local organization is dedicated to supporting a free eco-school and building sustainable solutions for waste, poverty, and education in rural Cambodia. By sourcing our bamboo straws through them, we are directly contributing to their vital mission. Every time you enjoy a drink with one of our bamboo straws, you’re not just making an eco-conscious choice; you’re supporting a truly holistic vision for Cambodia’s future.
Your Safety, Our Priority
We understand that embracing new sustainable practices can sometimes raise questions. Rest assured, every single bamboo straw used at Reservoir Hotels undergoes a rigorous sterilization process. They are 100% safe and hygienic for your enjoyment, meeting the highest standards of cleanliness.
Join the Movement: Take the Fight Home!
We invite you to be a part of this positive change. If you love our bamboo straws as much as we do, or if you’re inspired to continue the fight against plastic beyond your stay, visit our Boutique. We offer beautiful, reusable bamboo straws for purchase, allowing you to carry a piece of Cambodia’s sustainable spirit and The Red Road Foundation’s mission home with you.
Together, we can make a difference, one sip at a time. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards a greener, more responsible, and more connected Cambodia.
