2. On the beaches in the Philippines, it’s prohibited to smoke, eat, and build sand castles.

The beaches on Boracay Island had to be closed to the public for six months so that authorities in the Philippines could clean them. The expense of cleaning the sand and water of all the trash was close to $20 million. Now they’re prepared to welcome visitors once more, but not as many and only if they don’t wreck the environment. It is strictly forbidden to smoke, use alcohol, or even eat on the beaches. Children should not be allowed to construct sand castles because the natural landscapes should be preserved in their current state.
