- 25,000 gallons of sewage from toilets;
- 143,00 gallons of sewage from sinks, galleys, and showers;
- 7 tons of garbage and chemical waste;
- 15 gallons of toxic chemicals; and
- 7,000 gallons of oily bilge water
And pollution by cruise lines continues to go largely unchecked while business soars. Cruises are big business, and the industry reported more than 2 billion dollars in profits. It is clear these wealthy cruise lines need the power of the pocketbook to change their practices.
Join us now in cruise lines to clean up their act! Think of what a difference a day could make for an ocean near you.
Dear Industry Representative,
I'm appalled at the quantity of waste your cruise ships dump into our oceans. Did you know that your average cruise ship generates seven tons of garbage and solid wastes and 168,000 gallons of untreated sewage from toilets, sinks, and showers into our ocean everyday? Even worse, your ships start flushing toilets as close as 3 miles from shore, leaking untreated sewage riddled with bacteria, pathogens, and heavy metals into the same water that you or I could swim in.
Please, change your practices, and implement waste management practices that protect our oceans, and your business.
Sincerely,
/name/
