To have the following conversation, we must acknowledge one thing: no one has an environmental impact of zero, regardless of how they live. The moment we enter this world is when our carbon footprint begins. That fact is unavoidable, and it cannot be a deterrent from having a meaningful discussion about addressing the environmental consequences of our lifestyle.

Whistler Blackcomb’s The Big Picture documentaries begins with a question: Is our thirst for adventure threatening our environment? The answer is simple, but the solution is much more complicated. Yes, we are threatening our environment simply through the creating access to the mountains. The fuel used to travel on an airplane, to drive a car, to power the lifts, all of these things require energy to be possible. At the heart of this massive issue is not how to get rid of airplanes or gondolas, but how can they run more efficiently? How can we lessen those effects on the environment and promote of a culture of sustainability?

Through leading by example. Whistler Blackcomb is making real progress by reducing waste, exploring hybrid engines for its snowcats, consuming renewable energy, among a plethora of other progressive solutions. It takes leadership and success to show that these important changes can enhance the lives of people living not just in our mountain communities, but around the world.
