It's a different story when people put hundreds or thousands of chicken, swine or cattle under one roof, or when a huge cruise ship pulls into an alaskan bay and each and every one of the 4000 passengers flush a few times a day.
Interesting data...but for more honest comparison instead of a Hummer, let's say a 500 room Las Vegas hotel floating on the Atlantic carrying precious cargo of whales....(hey, I'm not talking about obese people....that's what they call high-rollers in Vegas.....Honest !!! )
