"Cruise ships are known to be heavy carbon emitters. A medium-sized cruise ship emits greenhouse gases equivalent to those of 12,000 cars, and it could dump over 1 billion gallons of untreated sewage into the ocean.

"For instance, during the six-month cruise season, a ship sailing from Seattle to Alaska emitted 1.1 million tons of CO2 to 559,414 passengers. This data indicates that the cruise industry can generate more than a million tonnes of garbage annually."
