Yeah what a horrible guy.
Philanthropy In 1998, DiCaprio and his mother donated $35,000 for a "Leonardo DiCaprio Computer Center" at the Los Feliz branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, the site of his childhood home. It was rebuilt after the 1994 Northridge earthquake and opened in early 1999.[148] During the filming of Blood Diamond, DiCaprio worked with 24 orphaned children from the SOS Children's Village in Maputo, Mozambique, and was said to be extremely touched by his interactions with the children.[149] In 2010, he donated $1 million to relief efforts in Haiti after the earthquake.[150][/url] In November 2010, DiCaprio donated $1 million to the Wildlife Conservation Society at Russia's tiger summit. DiCaprio's persistence in reaching the event after encountering two plane delays caused then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to describe him as a "muzhik" or "real man".[151][152] In 2011, DiCaprio joined the Animal Legal Defense Fund's campaign to free Tony, a tiger who has spent the last decade at the Tiger Truck Stop in Grosse Tete, Louisiana.[153] In April 2013, DiCaprio donated $61,000 to GLAAD, an organization which promotes the image of LGBT people in the media.[154] In early 2016, at a meeting with Pope Francis, he gave a charity donation and spoke about environmental issues. A few days later, possibly influenced by his meeting with DiCaprio, the Pope said he would act in a planned faith-based charity film, Beyond the Sun. It would be his first acting experience, and would also be the first time in history that a Pope appeared in a feature film. Profits from the film would be given to charities in Argentina.[15 Among the accolades received were the Martin Litton Environment Award, in 2001, from Environment Now, and the Environmental Leadership Award in 2003 from Global Green USA.[126] DiCaprio chaired the national Earth Day celebration in 2000, where he interviewed President Bill Clinton and they discussed plans to deal with global warming and the environment.[127] In 2007 he had a major role in The 11th Hour, a documentary about people's relationship to nature and global warming. He co-produced, co-wrote and narrated the film.[127] From a benefit "11th Hour" fine art auction he organized in 2013, he raised nearly $40 million to toward his foundation. He told attendees, "Bid as if the fate of the planet depended on us."[128] It became the world's highest-grossing environmental charity event ever held.[129] DiCaprio states that global warming is the world's "number-one environmental challenge".[130] In July 2016 his foundation awarded $15.6 million to help protect wildlife and the rights of Native Americans, along with combating climate change.[131] He has been an active supporter of numerous environmental organizations and has sat on the board of the World Wildlife Fund, Global Green USA, International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Natural Resources Defense Council.[124][132] He traveled to Indonesia in early 2016 where he criticized the government's palm oil industry's slash-and-burn forest clearing methods.[133][134] He drives environment-friendly vehicles, including an electric Tesla Roadster,[135] a Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid,[136] and a Toyota Prius.[137] His home is powered by solar panels LEONARDO DICAPRIO FOUNDATION Mission The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation is dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of all Earth’s inhabitants.

He's under fire right now to give back the tens of millions in doantions from a criminal that's been convicted of major financial crimes, like that will ever happen from a greedy liberal loon. He's just another liberal hypocrite that wants you to believe that you need a skateboard for transportation while he uses a yacht, and apparently it's working.

What's working is ALL the far right bullshit you continually immerse yourself in. You don't mention ANY of the many contributions he had made to put his money where his mouth is. Instead you simply toss out some other red herring issue.

The hypocritical rich, with all of their carbon usage, would be paying more than us simple folk.

DiCaprio probably IS buying green energy and that's basically the same thing. Notice OL didn't even mention all that DiCaprio is doing to try and ween us off fossil fuels but instead just bitches that he flies in a jet instead of riding a bus or has a 6 million dollar home instead of a 12X60 with a tip out.

And regardless of what people, who take on the cause has mouthpieces, individually do against the environment, climate change caused by the worlds use of fossil fuels, is still serious.

It's not hard for me to believe that the good people like DiCaprio does in getting the word out and cash donations offsets whatever his own carbon foot print may be.

But you buy into the hysteria, so be it. Yes they do. Besides, I think the point with his kind activism is to develop geen energy so that all of our carbon footprints are less. I don't expect wealthy activists to live in small homes just because they are trying to promote cleaner energy. I don't see any hypocrisy here.
