@TatinG Leonardo DiCaprio has done soooo much for the global warming cause. He’s a United Nations Messenger of Peace, he created an award winning films about it, he founded the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, raised tens of millions of dollars, he’s lead public campaigns, met with the Pope and many other world leaders to speak about climate change, He’s served on the boards of the WWF, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, among others. He provides support and funding for wildlife sanctuaries, coral reef preservation, marine reserves, forests, degraded coastlines, deferrals for oil drilling,

In order to have the platform that he does, he needs to be a famous actor. I have little to no qualms about him participating in the air travel necessary to be a famous actor. The amount of good that he has accomplished in the world is far, far greater than the gas from the limousine he took to the Oscars. It’s really disingenuous to compare him to Charlie Sheen.

edit: I feel like I need to clarify that I’m not even a huge Leo fan. But it’s insane to say that he doesn’t do an incredible amount of good, and has a huge passion, for this cause.
