Leo takes private jet to collect environmental award

Leo DiCaprio picked up an environmental award in NYC

this week — but hypocritically expanded his carbon

footprint by 8,000 miles when he obtained the honor,

by taking a private jet from Cannes, then flying

straight back to France on another jet for a model-

packed fund-raiser a night later.

DiCaprio was at the Cannes Film Festival this week,

and was spotted there partying at club Gotha on Monday

with model Georgia Fowler, then jetted back to New

York for the Riverkeeper Fishermen’s Ball at Chelsea

Piers on Wednesday, where he was honored by the

clean-water advocacy group and Robert De Niro.

 

Just 24 hours later, DiCaprio reappeared back in

France for amfAR’s glitzy Cinema Against AIDS gala,

where he gave a speech.

 

DiCaprio’s foundation just pledged $15 million to

environmental causes at this year’s World Economic

Forum. And during his Oscar acceptance speech, he

said, “Climate change is real. It is happening right

now, it is the most urgent threat facing our entire

species.”

 

But he’s also been slammed for his use of private jets

and yachts. Environmental analyst Robert Rapier, who

said the actor’s movie-star lifestyle “diminishes his

moral authority to lecture others on reducing their

own carbon emissions,” told us of DiCaprio’s latest

trips:

“[He] demonstrates exactly why our consumption of

fossil fuels continues to grow. It’s because everyone

loves the combination of cost and convenience they

offer. Alternatives usually require sacrifice of one

form or another.” Rapier added, “Everybody says, ‘I’ve

got a good reason for consuming what I consume’ .?.?.

It’s the exact same rationalization for billions of

people.”

 

But a source close to DiCaprio explained that the star

did not charter his own flights, but merely “hitched a

ride with someone already flying back [and] to Cannes.

Hitching a ride was the only way he could make it in

time for both events.”

 

The ­amfAR gala raised $25 million, including $500,000

for an auctioned stay at DiCaprio’s Palm Springs,

Calif., home, while the Riverkeeper event brought in

$1.6 million.

 

His rep didn’t comment.

Make it real ?
