SIGN NOW: Save endangered polar bears and communities from Big Cruise’s toxic pollution

The Arctic is melting FOUR TIMES faster than the rest of the world.

Greedy cruise companies should not be allowed to continue destroying the Arctic with toxic pollution and climate-warming emissions.

Indigenous communities in the Arctic rely on the ocean and wildlife for their way of life. Polar bears are losing their habitats and food sources. It’s all at risk due in part to massive companies like Carnival Corporation.

The EPA must take immediate action to rein in greedy cruise companies and protect the Arctic. But we need your help to make it happen!

Dear 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 communities and 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 chemicals that seep into the food chain itself.

Carnival Corporation is one of the worst offenders — its ships carried 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 the region, residents, and its wildlife before it's too late.

Sincerely,
