Cruise ships are nice to sail on.... but are also the epitome of arrogant and blase irresponsibility toward the environment and humans affected by this environment. Case in point, yet another waste spill incident, this time off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. That's not to mention the incidents that probably go hush-hush in the high seas.

Yes.... cruise ships provide a lot of business and tourism to a great many places, both in the Caribbean and elsewhere. But geez.... these companies make money hand over fist. You'd think they'd be a little more responsible and totally avoid this type of bullshit.


I have an idea, though it probably wouldn't go over very well with the cruise industry. Rather than fine these people, how about we take the offending ship..... empty it of all hazardous materials..... tow it out to an area where new reefs are needed..... and sink the sonofabitch to provide a starter for new reef and a home for marine life. All at the cruise ship company's expense. One or two ships going down like that would probably result in the cruise ship industry becoming the greenest industry on the face of the planet.
