Cruise Ship Lines Win 2011 "Dino of the Year" Anti-environmental Prize : TreeHugger

The Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) has announced their 2011 "Dinosaur of the Year" award. The Dino of the Year trophy goes to people or companies of public interest, intended to draw attention to "the most ridiculous statement or anachronistic decision in connection with Nature and the Environment."

This year's dinosaurs are the cruise ship industry. The German-based NABU singled out cruise lines AIDA and TUI, based in Germany, as the representatives of their branch....according to NABU,

the 15 largest cruise ships emit as much sulfur dioxide pollution annually as all 760 million cars in the world.
