Celebrities have been using their private jets for close destinations, and people around the globe are worried about the environmental impact.
During these last few years, fans discovered a lot of information about celebrities’s private lives via social media and other sources. People online also learn a lot about their lifestyle and what causes are close to their heart. But unfortunately, some of them don’t put those in place like the impact on the environment.
Taylor Swift is one of them, she is really into the environmental movement, but she was among the most important CO2 producers with approximately 8,293.54 tonnes in 2023. “Swift’s lyrics frequently reference nature, and she has been a public advocate for several environmental causes, including global clean water access and protecting endangered wildlife. She also called climate change one of the ‘horrific situations’ plaguing the world.” noted Newsweek. It’s not the first time she appeared on those lists.
Her carbon footprint has increased since her new relationship with the footballer, Travis Kelec. She’s been taking twelve flights to see her new boyfriend and her Eras tour didn’t help. Taylor’s jet has been producing 138 tonnes of CO2. To compensate it would be necessary to plant 2,282 trees and let them grow over a decade. Taylor Swift purchased more than the double carbon credit. She is not the only one and will not be the last.
Online, fans are tracking celebrities by posting their trajectories on social media like Twitter (X) and Instagram, there are also websites, where a lot of information is put out. For example, the model of the jet and their worth. The acts of celebrities could impact the public view, and the fact that they can get away with all those effects sends a bad on. Even if all celebrities paid off their carbon footprint, the actions have been already done.
