Dumping Sewage In The Sea 11/20/13

Large cruise ships generate more sewage than you could ever imagine. On average, one cruise ship has about seven million gallons of sewage each year. Think about how many cruise ships set out for fun times each year. That's billions and billions of gallons of sewage per year. As advertised, you will have the greatest time of your life on these floating cities, however cruise ship members fail to realize how damaging it is to dump their wastes into the sea. These toxins can have fatal effects on aquatic life and eventually people as well. Cruise ships have the option to create sewage treatment for cheaper than a coke per passenger. So why don't they? Questions that need to be answered.

Reaction - I think that it is absolutely disgusting how they dump their wastes into the ocean. I understand that it's legal, but they should at least treat it before settling it out into the ocean because it is vey harmful to the animals.
