Lewis has used his monetary wealth to offset his carbon emissions dating back to 2007. Over the last 13 years, his personal emissions are net zero.

It& #39;s a nuanced issue, and looking at it from the perspective of "Lewis fly& #39;s and drives so he& #39;s a hypocrite" misses so much. (1/5)
If you spend nothing, and get £10 back, you& #39;ve made £10 profit. If you spend £200, and get £210 back, you& #39;ve also made £10 profit.

Yes, he has emitted a lot of emissions over his career. But he& #39;s chosen to pay that back by funding projects that offset those emissions. (2/5)
Lewis possesses unique privilege in being able to afford to throw money at the problem, sure. But he& #39;s making that decision to do so himself. He& #39;s not obligated to do anything.

And when you consider on top of that, the influence of his message. He& #39;s easily carbon negative. (3/5)
IMO a lot of people& #39;s unpreparedness to scratch deeper comes from a general resentment & detachment from those who are very successful.

"How dare you try and tell me what to do, you& #39;re rich and famous".

Same reason Rashford& #39;s getting shit for trying to FEED KIDS FFS. (4/5)
Do I think that& #39;s the only reason? No, but IMO it& #39;s the biggest.

Your mate Gary is raising money for the homeless. But you reply "but what about kids cancer, DON& #39;T YOU CARE ABOUT KIDS?!"

Why can& #39;t celebrities pick their own causes to support, like us regular people do? (5/5)
