(1,039 posts)These "freedom" lovers defile the earth and air that their god provides. I suppose their Jesus drove diesel's before the Pollution Control Agency.

And after browsing r/HermanCainAwards the past couple of months, it almost seems like the propaganda is targeted directly at them, and they are the ones most likely to believe / share the memes.

They think they are soooo funny parking their guzzlers in EV charging spaces.

(3,943 posts)Theyre the only vacations I take. Ive been on two this year already. Technology is catching up to pollution. The line I cruise has newer ships are less polluting (Princess ships) and the next class of their fleet the Sphere class will by LNG powered.

As for rolling coal I agree. Its assault basically.

(66,310 posts)They tend to be condemned as hopelessly middle-brow entertainment and relaxation, not to mention hugely polluting. But we both know that most modern cruise ships take elaborate care to minimize ocean pollution in the course of their voyages. One effort a lot of cruise lines are making is to develop much more quiet engines in order to reduce noise-stress on marine wildlife like whales and dolphins.
A lot of environmentally conscious people take cruise vacations, and the cruise lines are trying to keep them as paying customers by reducing their pollution footprints.
