URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Big Cruise is polluting our oceans with TOXIC waste. Will you help by speaking up against the cruise ship industry? Act Now >>

Friend, did you know cruise ships release massive amounts of toxic waste into our oceans? That same waste pollutes marine ecosystems that our beloved orcas inhabit and can contaminate the shorelines of coastal communities. The toxins released by these huge vessels can turn blue, vibrant waters into a murky, sludge-contaminated mess. Could you imagine having to swim in waters polluted with toxic sludge, Friend? Neither can we.

And for endangered Southern Resident orcas, the reality of the cruise industry’s harmful ocean pollution is threatening their survival. We cannot let Big Cruise’s careless practices and corporate greed continue to disrupt our delicate oceanic ecosystems, threaten endangered orcas, and put people’s health at risk.

That’s why we’re demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rein in greedy cruise corporations before more damage is done to our precious planet, and we URGENTLY need your help to apply strong public pressure: Will you be a true Friend of our Earth today and sign our petition before the deadline at 11:59 P.M. Friend? Add your name now >>

Damaging the marine food supply, contaminated water, and excessive noise pollution? That is only a small portion of the harm caused by Big Cruise.

Meanwhile, Southern Resident orcas are already on BRINK OF EXTINCTION -- and cruise industry pollution could be what pushes these iconic marine mammals over the edge. The disturbances and pollution from cruise ships can impair a whale’s echolocation abilities, which are needed for navigation and communication. And their massive vessels can even drive away Chinook salmon, an essential orca food source, leading to orcas DYING OF STARVATION OR MALNUTRITION.

There are only 75 Southern Resident orcas remaining in the wild. Time is running out to restore and save the dwindling population of this beloved sea mammal. Don’t wait to speak up, Friend -- every moment of inaction gives Big Cruise the upper hand. Take action now to protect our oceans, orcas, and planet from the cruise industry’s corporate pollution >>

Thanks for being an advocate for our oceans and our planet,
Friends of the Earth
