Cruises are becoming more and more popular, with around 20 million passengers per year now enjoying holidays on board luxury（奢侈的）ships. More people see a cruise as the perfect way to sit back and do nothing, and enjoy time off work. But what is the effect on the environment of this trend?

Although it usually takes less energy for a vehicle to move through water than over land, cruise ships are often massive, with the biggest ones carrying up to 6,000 passengers. Moving such large vehicles requires huge engines which bum as much as 300,000 litres of fuel a day. One scientist has calculated that cruise ships create as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the same distance. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn't allowed on land. Unfortunately, no government has control over the amount of air pollution out at sea. Cruises also produce huge amounts of rubbish, and cruise ships aren’t usually good at recycling. Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea - as much per day as from a small town. Waste food from restaurants isn’t put into the sea, but still causes problems when brought back to the land.

Cruise ships also cause difficulties in the cities where they stop. Popular destinations can get five or six ships per day, with thousands of tourists at a time. Good for restaurants? No. Restaurant owners complain that the visitors look around for a few hours and then return to their ship to eat. What’s more, the crowds can put off other tourists, who complain that the streets are too busy. Some towns have banned（禁止）cruise ships or put a limit on the number that can stop at the same time. People who care about the environment worry that as the cruise industry continues to grow, so too will the issues for our planet.

Today we're going to school by bus as usual. We normally leave home at 8 a.m., but we’re leaving e 81 because we’re testing some new devices for this month’s report. All these devices are useful when you're travelling. So, what have we got?

First up is the Briefskate. It’s made of wood, so it looks like a normal skateboard, but you can open the top. Inside there’s s 82 for books and a mobile or an iPad. In my opinion, it’s useful and fun, but Tina and I can’t skate, so we can’t test it...

The n 83 device is the UE Boom 2. It’s a small speaker with a really big sound! It’s about the size of a can of drink, so you carry it with you easily and enjoy listening to your music. It’s powerful enough to f 84 a large room with music，so you can have a party wherever
