Billionaires & the Jets : GreenPeace and Wealth Responsibility in Environmental Advocacy

Bruno Mars once said, “I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad”. But with such immense wealth comes certain responsibilities expected from the general public, namely in regards to the growing climate emergency. Amongst other celebrities, Taylor Swift has been recently criticized for her repeated use of private jets, known to contribute to pollution that exacerbate issues such as global aquatic deoxygenation and the broader climate crisis. This Specialized Agency aims to explore the tension between the ultra-wealthy and environmental organizations advocating for the ban of private jets. It will delve into the roles and responsibilities of billionaires in championing social justice and driving change. The debate will also address the environmental impact of wealth concentration and the importance of celebrities' influence in advocating for social justice and environmental causes. Through panel discussions, case studies, and audience engagement, the agency seeks to foster balanced debates, question celebrity responsibility, and raise awareness about the importance of collective action against climate change and social injustice.
