The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is more bent on enforcing the law against litterbugs after it found trash left by tourists along Boracay's beachfront during its first day of soft opening. DENR undersecretary for Solid Waste management and Local Government Concerns Benny Antiporda said adopting a "zero-tolerance policy" against litterbugs is the best way to prevent littering problems on the island. He said that being compliant means "you have love for our environment, and that is what we want to reinforce."
