While everyone in the comments is likely going to point out the hypocrisy in a celebrity calling for climate related action while cruising in a yacht, you should still absolutely do this. It's still a good thing to do. Pretend your mom asked you instead.

While I do agree with what you’re saying, this is getting a vote today. The call to your rep should have been over the last several weeks. This is performative.

Leo has been advocating for endangered species for longer than some people on Listnook have been alive. And the house today has delayed the vote.

He should ask his rich boyfriend, bezos, for some money to pay the right people off. These rich fucks pay to have everything else their way.

Yeah! F*** the rich! I’ll make the endangered species pay for what they’ve done! That’ll show them!

Most_Tangelo Apr 23, 2026 +9

Also while the environmental impact of yachts and private jets aren't great. Especially compared to the average person. Even individual celebrity environment impact is negligible to the scale of corporations. Like just because he's not a perfect advocate doesn't make it a message not worth advocating. You can both criticize him for his bullshit and agree with him for things that aren't bullshit.

2

Complex_Peak8204 Apr 23, 2026 +5

A lot of people complaining want the message coming from a hippy living in the woods with zero tech. Which is f****** idiotic. He is right about this while being a tool.

5

Sudden-Volume-5711 Apr 23, 2026 +5

The billionaire hypocrisy is a tired distraction—yeah, we know the system is rigged, but that doesn’t mean we should just let them torch the ESA while arguing about yachts. Call your reps anyway, because if the only “victory” these assholes get is making us too cynical to act, they’ve already won.

greysweater72 Apr 23, 2026 +3

I hope he’ll ask folks to call reps about the gutting of the Forest Service as well

He has the money, throw money at it. But still call your reps.

He throws tons of money at this issue, but he can't throw votes.

The source of this isn’t great, but the message is still true

Embarrassed_Radio596 Apr 23, 2026 +2

This is where I put a foot down and say the law doesn't matter except for deciding who stops you. If you're hurting an endangered species, and the government won't stop you, I will. So will others. And it's going to be a lot less pleasant for you than if the government did it.

2

braxin23 Apr 23, 2026 +2

Oh but then you’re an “eco terrorist” when it’s the companies literally tearing up the land who terrorize and placate everyone into submission.

Unfortunately true.

Dudes an eco hypocrite.

mymemesnow Apr 23, 2026 +2

The vast majority of rich/famous people do equally bad things *and* doesn’t use their reach to urge people to do something. I personally think it’s marginally better and should be encouraged.

2

OnTheFenceGuy Apr 22, 2026 +3

But that doesn’t have anything to do, directly, with repealing the endangered species act. Yes, he’s a hypocrite. But he also happens to be right on this specific topic. And, if someone as famous as him is what it takes to get the message across, I’m all for it.

3

OldSandwich9631 Apr 22, 2026 +2

It’s not even his yacht and by the way, his foundation is going to team up with theirs to save endangered species. The New York Times reported that during their recent profile of Lauren Sanchez. He’s been friends with Lauren Sanchez since he was 19 or 20 apparently. Not sure why everyone assumes the connection to this couple is through Jeff

2

Practical-Sleep4259 Apr 22, 2026 +2

It's almost like "fighting to save an endangered species" is a great cover for "destroying the planet with a lavish lifestyle". "Why does it matter if he clearly doesn't care at all", because it stops being activism and turns into self interests.

2

OldSandwich9631 Apr 22, 2026 +8

He has done a ton of work over the years to save endangered species. The facts are facts

8

Practical-Sleep4259 Apr 22, 2026 -2

He pollutes the ocean daily in magnitudes far beyond typical human capability, remorselessly. If I am burning down one side of a rainforest I don't get credit for the small piece I publicly announce I am saving on a different side. If fact it would just be very obvious what I am doing which it is.

As of they had the option to do that and chose not to do it. Be f****** real

GreatGojira Apr 22, 2026 +2

Hypocrisy from the real damage private yachts do to the environment passing the buck to average people. When he has more money than the average person to make more of a difference.

2

blindreefer Apr 22, 2026 +11

He’s using his fame to ask people to make a phone call. Not donate money.

11

thirdLeg51 Apr 22, 2026 +2

1) what does anything you just said have to do with the endangered species act? 2)One person on a yacht is not going to do anything. He does have more money which is why he fights for the environment. What will do more good, trying to get laws passed or being on a smaller boat?

2

GreatGojira Apr 22, 2026 +3

His net worth is $300 million at least. He can do a lot more than my $45,000.

thirdLeg51 Apr 22, 2026 +2

And he’s trying

I'm saying he has more of a chance to make to difference than the average nobody.

Leo's done more damage to the environment with his jets and yachts than a normal person would do in multiple lifetimes lol

GravelRoadJunkie Apr 22, 2026 -4

In the end the true danger to endangered species is damage to the planet, Leo cruising around in Yachts and Private Jets does far more damage, he’s a hypocrite.

-4

thirdLeg51 Apr 22, 2026 +5

No. Whatever a company does is a way worse than any one person can do. Removing regulations and laws just makes it easier. You want to vilify him when he is doing the work to make the world better.

iamtheCarlos Apr 23, 2026 +4

Go look up his foundation re:wild. He legitimately funds the upkeep of endangered species all over the world and has for years. I’m pretty sure there was one species he single handed funded for a while. I’m honestly fed up of people talking out of their asses online.

NotAnotherBlingBlop Apr 22, 2026 -15

He also flew on a private jet to Jeff Bezo's wedding, one of the worst polluters in the world.

-15

OldSandwich9631 Apr 22, 2026 +2

How do you actually know that? You are just assuming that. He likely did charter a plane or fly in with someone else. But he doesn’t actually have his own jet

2

NotAnotherBlingBlop Apr 22, 2026 -11

I think you're missing the point. He could've walked there, doesn't change that he rubs shoulders with one of the world's worst polluters.

I get this is a good thing but then I pause and think of all the other stuff going on and notice Leo is silent on that - I can’t pin him down on what he stands for I love he backs his costars and puts people on but he’s so silent on other things affecting his fellow Americans
