> The reason is capitalism

Because in alternative economical systems, there's no scarcity of resources and authorities in charge have absolutely no motivation to save those resources up. Right?

If you label any situation of resource scarcity and misuse as "because capitalism", it just means you don't understand what capitalism and other economic systems are about.

in this case, it was the lobbying of the adventure tour businesses that demanded they stay in business, despite the obvious drawbacks of them continuing to pollute the park with noise and fuel waste.

A bad decision being made because a power group have defended it's interests that damaged the interests of the public.

You think this is unique to capitalism?

And what make this really bad is that there are electric snowmobiles available that are quieter and non-polluting.
