According to this study, the most polluted celebrity is Taylor Swift. The singer, who emits 8,293 tons of carbon dioxide, 1184 tons more than the average, would have made 170 flights, averaging 80 minutes per flight. Among them stands out one of the only 36 minutes between Missouri and Nashville. However, as its spokesperson stated in guardianThe majority of these ‘trips’ were regularly loaned to other people.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather is second in the standings. The American emits 7,076 tons of carbon dioxide, which is 1,011 times the average. Of all the celebrities, he was the one who took the most trips, with a total of 177 trips, roughly one per day. It also boasts the shortest flight to Las Vegas, taking just 10 minutes. TV host Kylie Jenner has been accused of being a “climate criminal” for making a 17-minute trip to buy food.
The platform was completed by Jay-Z. As the study reflects, the rapper could have polluted 6,981 tons of carbon dioxide, about 997 more than the rest. His shortest flight was the one he used to take from North Carolina to Ohio, and it took 29 minutes.
