Jet-Setting Leo Sets The Record Straight Posted by Kerry Trueman on January 30, 2008 at 2:15 pm

Leonardo DiCaprio tells the Daily Record he doesn’t have any problem with being a high-flying eco-activist:

“I’ve heard the stuff about artists flying everywhere, but we are also citizens. I do what I can for the sake of our planet but nobody is perfect. If I can influence anyone in any kind of way and get them to listen to these issues using my position, then that can only be a good thing.”

Let’s face it, jetting around is part of your job description when you’re an actor. At least DiCaprio’s using his fame to draw attention to the climate change crisis. Find out how you can curb your own carbon footprint at climatecrisis.net.

I think tourism is what is really causing havoc, not a few actors, players, musicians, and their crews that have to travel.
DiCaprio, like me, is caught up in this world and we have to live with what we have, while trying to make good changes.
Put a high carbon tax on flying, then those who really need it can pay for it. (Sorry, Leonardo, I hope you can pay!)
Let’s watch for another power source just around the corner!
Go, DiCaprio!
