Better stop cruise ships...In one day alone, a cruise ship generates 21,000 gallons of sewage

In one day alone, a cruise ship generates 21,000 gallons of sewage, which is often dumped untreated once the ship is three miles from shore, as well as one ton of garbage, 170,000 gallons of wastewater, 6,400 gallons of oily bilge water, and 25 pounds of batteries, fluorescent lights, medical wastes, and expired chemicals.

These practices should be stopped. 22k gallons of sewage per day could easily be processed by municipal sewage treatment at the port, and a garbage crusher could easily bail the waste and dispose of it at the port. Just would take some space away from passengers......tough.

Or at least some government official should be paid off so they can continue...maybe a carbon tax  (bribe)
