Kourtney Kardashian slammed for posting about carbon emissions despite traveling by private jet to luxury vacations
KOURTNEY Kardashian faced backlash for posting about carbon emissions despite the family's excessive spending on private travel.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum has been busy jet-setting to luxurious locations and planning her over-the-top wedding with fiancé Travis Barker.
Kourtney, 42, took to her Instagram Stories recently to share a fact sheet about carbon emissions on our planet.
The reality star posted a "CO2 tracker" that explained how harmful pollution has become on earth.
The story read: "Today atmospheric CO2 is 419.13 PPM. Last year it was 416.04 PPM.
"Ten years ago it was 393.57 PPM. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere should not exceed 350 PPM."
The post concluded with a call to action, reading: "Time to get our s**t together."
However, fans were shocked to see Kourtney share such a post when her family spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on material items as well as travel on private jets.

One follower re-shared the post to where several shared their opinion on the matter.
One complained: "It's so frustrating to see them post stuff like this while living really wasteful lives even though they have all the means to try and be as sustainable as possible."
Another agreed: "They really do have the means to be green as f**k. They visit all these incredibly beautiful, but very well preserved locations and probably think 'we want our grandkids to see places like these.'
"I don't think they really understand how much the earth is suffocating. The earth is not just exclusive sections of Cabo, St Barth, San Marino, etc."
"Celebrities p**s me off when they try to get into eco stuff. Infographics mean nothing if you’re not going to put in the work," a third remarked.
"Rich people always try to preach but they are the ones causing the damage."
Another ranted: "She has the money and platform to make a huge difference and instead just does a repost.
"While continuing to use private jets, burn through excessive amounts of clothing and shoes that will only be used once and receive PR packages that contain excessive amounts of plastic and cardboard which will sit in her closet or end up in the trash."
"Those private plane rides aren't helping, that's for sure," another ripped, while a final scathed: "The whole family is hypocritical, it’s insane."
FLYING PRIVATE
Despite Kourtney's global warming concerns, she and her family have continued to use private planes for their lavish vacations across the world.
The TV personality has been flying to and from Mexico frequently since going steady with drummer Travis, 46, and has been spotted climbing out of private jets upon their arrival.
Kourtney's sister Kylie Jenner, 24, purchased her own pink private plane in early 2020 for a whopping $72.8million, and the family has all enjoyed their individual time on the aircraft.
The Kardashians have used the jet to travel to Mexico, Disneyworld, and other expensive locations around the world.
WEDDING BELLS
In addition to their elaborate spending and opulent travels, Kourtney and Travis have also begun planning their wildly sumptuous wedding.
The pair’s over-the-top plans have been revealed, and one thing they’ve made sure to agree on is that they want their kids “involved.”
According to , having the whole family be a part of the wedding ceremony is “the most important element” of the upcoming affair.
An insider said: “The day will be about their families blending together.”
The source revealed that Kourtney and Travis “want to get married as soon as possible,” with the mother of three ready to “change her plans and modify her expectations than wait any longer.”
“She wants to be his wife,” the insider said. “They are planning their future and want it to start now!”
As this will be the first wedding for Kourtney, her family has been trying to slow her down a bit in the planning process.
