Yesterday the Portland harbor was filled with polluting cruise ships.

How many is too many?

Will the city’s unrestricted growth in cruise tourism without any knowledge of costs or environmental harm motivate the residents to vote for a passenger cap?

Care for some horrible black air pollution with your fall foliage?

Join us at Portland Cruise Control to limit the environmental impacts of these climate catastrophes.
