I have a friend that after high school went into the Navy, and apparently the Navy puts expiration dates on things. So if paint or other maintenance supplies aren't used in like thirty days or something stupid, they throw it in the drink. He said it was absolutely unbelievable, the stuff was still perfectly good and usable. He couldn't believe the ridiculous waste and how everything just got tossed in the ocean, and no one even blinked an eye. Cruise ships are just as bad. It's amazing to me how ignorant the general population is. They pay a gazillion dollars to go on an indulgent drinking and gambling ship, and EVERYTHING gets tossed in the ocean.
