Seattle: Take Action to Reduce Cruise Harms!
Giant cruise ships pollute our waters and air, endanger our health and our climate, exploit onboard workers, and overwhelm destination communities. The destructive impacts are enormous & fundamental to the industry’s current business model: cruise profits depend directly upon externalizing the costs of pollution & exploitation.
There ARE actions the Port of Seattle can take.
Tell Port Commissioners & staff that Seattle should take steps to immediately reduce harms, while exploring ways to equitably transition away from this devastating form of toxic tourism. Starting with annually reducing sailings.
