But in the scheme of things, especially considering the fact that getting to Churchill requires a carbon-intensive flight (or a long train ride that only runs twice a week), that’s a relative drop in the bucket of an average tourgoer.

“We don’t have a direct answer at this stage of how we can reduce those other GHG emissions, but it’s something that we talk about all the time,” Burtnick said. “It’s something that we do care about, and I do believe that when we have a solution, we’re going to be implementing it. It’s not a perfect answer.

“We’ve explored the option of carbon offsets, and we choose not to do it. The reason why we choose not to do it is because we don’t want to simply mask the problem. The EV Tundra Buggy was a way for us to do that as a company because that was something within our control where we could actually reduce those emissions.”
