Global warming is a very serious concern presently and every small mistake is leading to a horrifying future. It is not unknown that flights are a huge reason behind carbon dioxide emissions in the environment. Travelling by flight surely takes very less time but its effect on the environment is very hazardous. And the worst thing is celebrities travelling places, even for short-haul flights, in their private jet flights and private charters. This is certainly the worst offender for extreme carbon dioxide emission.
Kylie Jenner’s Recent Upload Faced A Lot Of Criticism!
Recently Kylie Jenner uploaded a picture with Travis Scott on her Instagram as they were posing by their private jets with the caption, ‘you wanna take mine or yours?’. This picture and the caption attracted a lot of reactions and negative comments as the netizens went furious with the couple for being not at all cautious about the environment in the middle of such global warming. Kylie’s followers flooded the common section about how they do not care about their private jet flights’ impact on the environment. Shockingly, Kylie and Travis flew for only 17 minutes from Van Nuys in Los Angeles to a town in Camarillo.
