Sea travel is actually more fuel efficient than air travel or road travel, as water offers less resistance than road travel. However, cruise ships, with all their energy-guzzling bells and whistles, use about as much fuel as air travel. I believe pressure from consumers and environmental lobby groups have resulted in cruise ship operators taking measures to reduce their energy, water and resource usage in recent years. Looking forward to your blogpost on your Alaskan cruise.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-5176119663420145192010-06-20T08:33:16.166+08:002010-06-20T08:33:16.166+08:00Hi CO'78,

I think you might be encouraged by the cruise ship operators' gestures towards preserving the environment. Their cooperation might have been less than voluntary, encouraged by substantial fines and recent limitations on the number of ships allowed at the popular glaciers, but it is reflected in some tangible changes on board, such as an emphasis on using and collecting recyclables and discontinuance of dumping their waste at sea.louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724442924909561263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-24859427129024846282010-06-18T22:10:29.235+08:002010-06-18T22:10:29.235+08:00super cool!!! i bet u had a very VERY good time th...super cool!!! i bet u had a very VERY good time there~!mNadeshikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670602577114126916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-47661427456258084272010-06-18T15:04:26.234+08:002010-06-18T15:04:26.234+08:00Thanks, Keats!

Next Green Living outreach event will be practically sponsored by Pat and Chuan! <br /><br />I loved being up in the tree, too. The cavers won't tell me how they got the rope up there in the first place. They said they hired a monkey (paid in ice cream cones) to put the rope over the branch for them.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-86885616769436576772010-06-18T10:42:51.702+08:002010-06-18T10:42:51.702+08:00Wow, that so looked like fun!

City Hall was involved in the destruction of countless animals, not all of them stray :( It's time for transparency and accountability. Whose brainwave was it to send contractors out to shoot dogs, rats and crows, and who are these contractors?<br /><br />Hey Brad, I bet you could climb up that tree faster that I could.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-43271548608572487322010-06-18T09:48:03.061+08:002010-06-18T09:48:03.061+08:00Dear Ellen, Au and Target,
