Stop greedy cruise companies from destroying the Arctic and our oceans! >>

Cruise companies DUMP wastewater into our oceans and SPEW climate-warming emissions into our atmosphere. They don’t care about the delicate balance of some of the world’s most sensitive ecosystems. They care about their profits.

The EPA has allowed cruise companies to pollute our oceans and drive the climate crisis for too long. But YOU have a chance to help change that. Please don’t wait another moment!

To the EPA:

The Arctic is one of the most fragile places on earth, suffering astronomically from the results of the human-driven climate crisis. As the earth is warming and temperatures rise, sensitive Arctic habitats are melting and shrinking, leaving vulnerable species like polar bears struggling to survive.

The cruise industry is making things worse for this ecological disaster in the Arctic by increasing cruise ship traffic with massive vessels that release concerning amounts of climate-warming emissions, emit disruptive noise pollution that drives fish and critical food sources away, AND dump toxic wastewater that seeps into the food chain itself.

Carnival Corporation is one of the worst offenders — carrying 11,000 tons of hazardous heavy fuel oil in a single year through Arctic waters — nearly three times as much as its largest competitor.

I am calling on your agency to take immediate steps to enact stricter regulations and policies to rein in cruise ship pollution in the Arctic in order to protect this region and its wildlife before it's too late.
