On 1 August 2016 City Lab reported: The Baltic Sea, a North European body of water, is becoming the first in the world to ban cruise ships from dumping waste water offshore starting in 2019. The timeframe still leaves the sea vulnerable in the interim. The city of Helsinki isn't waiting until 2019 for the no-dump laws to kick in. The Port of Helsinki announced sweeteners that will encourage visiting ships to stop dumping at sea now. In order to keep its waters relatively clear, the Port of Helsinki is offering a 20 percent discount to vessels that pump their waste on land to be treated. Ships that dock in the port must all pay the fee, whether they actually off-load waste there or not. By taking advantage of a service they've already paid for, ships can cut their overheads. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and government, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
