2/3/2023 Question of the day

Take a Cruise Day: Have you ever been on a cruise? If not, would you want to? Cruise ships cause major environmental damage: a large cruise ship can have a carbon footprint greater than 12,000 cars, while passengers on an Antarctic cruise can produce as much CO2 emissions on a seven-day voyage as the average European in an entire year. The industry is a major producer of waste, with the total amount of rubbish produced by a large cruise ship exceeding a ton per day. And let us not forget that they are also essentially floating germ/virus labs (even before Covid). So do you still want to take a cruise?

Whoa, hey, slow down there, you had me at "Have you ever been on a cruise?". I have not, because I'm the sort of person who wants to do stuff on vacation. I have never grasped the point of paying thousands of dollars to spend most of one's vacation just doing nothing in the middle of the ocean.
