                @munene_mugambi As much as they bring a lot of money, they harm the environment, which might take forever to get back to where it was or might never.

                If to save the planet means that we should make crazy decisions,then so be it .the planet is more important than any amount of money.

                    Considering the kind of pollution brought about by cruise ships,this might bring change although I think that shifting towards using cruises with renewable energy could work better.

                      @rosebellendiritu Shifting to cruise ships powered by renewable energy would indeed be a more sustainable solution, reducing pollution while maintaining tourism. This approach balances environmental protection with the benefits of the cruise industry.
