Reposted by loveisphere Fair Sailing @fairsailing.bsky.social · 4hToday Victoria hosts little NatGeo Venture, ship #330 in the season; we’re nearing 2,500 hours of cruise ship emissions for 2026. Fun fact: cruise isn’t the $$ claimed - cruise tourists account for less than 2% of tourist spending in the region. The costs?

loveisphere @loveisphere.bsky.social · 06/10/2026City council’s answer to cruise ship garbage is to increase the tipping fee. That is not a sustainable solution. It is not about the money. We do not want a dump at Ogden Point or the constant barrage of heavy trucks on our roads and we do not want high-risk U.S. garbage taken to Hartland Landfill. 000
loveisphere @loveisphere.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The garbage dump at Ogden Point isn’t a new concern. In 2019, CTV reported 150 tonnes of U.S. cruise garbage went to Hartland Landfill. Actual in 2019 was 2,082 tonnes. 7 years later, 330+ ships, the amount of garbage has exploded to — undisclosed. Zero Waste Victoria?

loveisphere @loveisphere.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Did you know we have an oceanfront dump in James Bay in Victoria? It’s on private property, so there’s nothing we can do about it. It smells awful, leaks an unknown fluid that smells like a combo of poop & vomit that drains into the ground. Not to mention — rats. Don’t we have bylaws? #yyj #yyjpoli 120
loveisphere @loveisphere.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I will add that cruise tourism accounts for a measly 2% of Victoria’s tourism dollars. And they drop off tons of garbage that gets dumped at Hartland Landfill. Did I mention we live on an island? Not to mention the cost to our environment and healthcare system. Not worth it. We are damned fools. 1101

loveisphere @loveisphere.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I see it and breathe it almost every day from April through October.
