Bad news for David Beckham. According to climate watchdog Carbon Trust the former England captain has both "the biggest carbon footprint in the world" and "the largest carbon footprint in human history."
The reason for Beckham’s dirty oversized environmental footprint can be summed up in two words: Air fare.
Beckham spent much of 2007 jet-setting back and forth between Spain, England and the west coast of the United States to play for Real Madrid, England and the Los Angeles Galaxy respectively.
Add Beckham’s trips around America to MLS away games (including those that he watched while nursing his ankle) plus his and Posh Spice’s various promotional paydays and the Becks-inspired Los Angeles Galaxy tour to Australia and New Zealand. Factor in his fifteen cars, including a Hummer.
