Did you know that the Disney Cruise Line is really invested in environmental stewardship and sustainability? Here are just a few of the ways DCL takes care of it's environment.
- Dedicated Environmental Officers on all ships, who are ranked among the most senior leaders aboard the fleet, having previous maritime experience and specialized training en environmental regulations and systems
- Advanced Wastewater Purification Systems installed on all Disney ships, featuring a combination of advanced technology and natural processes to treat and purify shipboard wastewater to levels far exceeding international shipping requirements
- An innovative hull coating on all Disney ships that is both 100% nontoxic and effective in increasing fuel efficiency at sea
- Shipboard recycling processes that eliminate more than 405 tons of recyclables, including metals, plastics and paper from traditional waste streams annually
- Annual shore cleanups by cast and crew members that have removed more than 33,000 pounds of trash and debris from entering fragile waterways
Have you ever thought about that big pile of trash the size of Texas floating along in the Pacific? It does my heart good to know that Disney does everything it can to keep the waters clean.
