Since I am about to go on a cruise, I would like to bring up a number of topics that will turn into an article over the course of this week. There are alot of aspects of cruises that are trying to become more environmentally friendly. However, there is one thing that comes to mind when thinking about a cruise and it is food, food, and food.
As far as food goes, we have all seen those people that go back for thirds, fourths, and fifths on cruises. Since food is included, people tend to take an entire order of something and then throw it away. It did not take me until the CatScan to realize how wasteful this is.
According to the Telegraph, cruises are the least eco friendly method of tourism. The combination of food wasted, carbon emissions, and sewage discarding methods make it incredibly bad for the environment. Unfortuinately for the earth, people love these vacations!
The Heritage Foundation recorded that the government spent $693,000 a year on the cruise industry.
Everyone thinks they have an idea about what that money is spent on, but they do not really have detailed facts, nor do they have their real questions answered, which is where I come in this week.
How many pounds of food are wasted, how many people can the wasted food feed, and how much is actually eaten. What about how many pounds do people gain on average when they go on a cruise?
After this week, I expect to educate all of you with a realistic sense of what is actually occurring. Stay tuned for my article.
