Tell the CDC to extend the No Sail Order for polluting and unsafe cruises!

Coming next month: Deadly pollution and untreated waste will be spewed into the waters of North America. The cruise industry plans to start sailing again -- risking the health of passengers, crews, communities, and the environment.

The only thing standing in its way is the Centers for Disease Control's No Sail Order. Will you tell the agency to stop cruises until the industry can protect the environment and public health?

Comments

To the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

The COVID-19 crisis has thrust the cruise industry into the spotlight for knowingly putting public and environmental health at risk, long after the warning signs of coronavirus and pollution were clear.

I am calling on the US Centers for Disease Control to extend the No Sail Order from September 30, 2020 until cruise ship companies demonstrate their obligation to protect public health and the environment by publicly committing to address their negative impacts on passengers, crew, communities, and the climate. This includes – but is not limited to - achieving zero emissions by 2050, immediately switching to the cleanest fuels available, ending the dumping of untreated or poorly treated waste in our oceans, and publicly reporting on their performance. Because without these changes, there is no guarantee for the safety of passengers – especially given the link between climate change and the increased risk of pandemics.
