Travell,

That is a good question. The amount of pollution emitted from our camp is only very small compared to other pollutants that are already in the atmosphere (such as greenhouse gases). Thus we have a very small impact. However, we are trying to emit less and less pollution up here all the time and hope that one day our camp will emit nearly no pollutants.

Mike
