Thanks Laurentiu.
Shipping pollution is 'hidden' in the sense that people don't see/smell it like they see/smell trucks on the road or airplanes over their heads, so it's like it doesn't exist. Out of sight, out of mind. If people had to drive behind a cargo ship on their daily commute, then there would be much more pressure on the gov't to clean them up. Also, many people think that since ships don't spend much time within their territorial waters, then pollution is someone else's problem. Well, it's everybody's problem. There really should be more media coverage of this.

Yet another pretext for Poland to protest
I really wish my country would do something constructive once in a while, instead of vetoing everything that may (or may not) help the environment
