[van-announce] Stop Cruise Ship Pollution (fwd)

[Steve Kisby]

----- Forwarded message -----

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines are unnecessarily polluting our oceans with raw sewage!!
 
Please join us on July 26th to say NO to this needless pollution

Did you know?

o  Cruise ships are legally allowed to dump raw sewage into the ocean?

o  Cruise ships generate thousands of gallons of sewage per day?

o  For the cost of a can of coke per passenger per day, the entire industry could upgrade to state-of-the-art sewage treatment technology fleet-wide in a matter of five years?

If these facts are new to you, you are not alone.

YOU CAN HELP

We will be hosting a flotilla to greet the Royal Caribbean Ship Radiance of the Seas on Saturday, July 26th.

We're looking for boats, kayaks, canoes and most importantly concerned citizens to come out and rally against the dumping of raw sewage into our ocean.

Help us tell Royal Caribbean to clean up their act if they want to come to Vancouver!

For this effort to be successful, we need the help of concerned people like you to help get the message out!  Pass this on and join us!
