 (415) 597-6700\n\n\nIn his new book, “Cruise Ship Blues,” author and 
 self-described “cruise junkie” Ross Klein exposes the underside of the 
 cruise industry, documenting environmental, public health and social 
 justice flaws. Klein’s program is timely as San Francisco plans to build 
 a new cruise ship terminal that will double or triple cruise traffic in San 
 Francisco Bay.  \n\n\nFrom 1993 to 1998 alone, cruise ships were involved 
 in 104 detected and confirmed cases of illegal discharges of oil, garbage, 
 and hazardous wastes, and paid more than $30 million in fines. A typical 
 cruise ship on a one-week voyage generates approximately 50 tons of 
 garbage, two million gallons of "graywater" (waste water from sinks, 
 showers, galleys and laundry), 210,000 gallons of sewage, 35,000 gallons of 
 oil-contaminated water, and untold amounts of hazardous waste.\n\nThe 
 program is being presented by the Commonwealth Club of California’s 
 Environment and Natural Resources Section in association with Bluewater 
 Network, an environmental advocacy group based in San Francisco that 
 advocates for clean vessels and vehicles.\n\n
