Kim Kardashian says she’s doing her part to combat climate change — despite using her relatively new private jet to fly everywhere.
“I believe in climate change, and I believe that anything can help,” she told Interview magazine in her butt-baring cover story published Tuesday. “But I also believe in being realistic and I think sometimes there’s so much to worry about on this planet, and it can be really scary to live your life with anxiety.”
The “Kardashians” star, 41, said she loves “learning” from her “super climate change-involved friends,” but when it comes to her life, she needs to assess the practicality of going green at an extreme level.
“I do what I can, but you have to pick and choose what really works for you in your life,” she said. “No one’s going to be 100 percent perfect.”
Kardashian’s comments come as she, Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift and more stars have faced criticism for their constant use of private jets over using the more plebeian method of commercial airlines.
In July, the Kylie Cosmetics founder was called a “climate criminal” for using her jet for a 17-minute flight when she easily could have driven.
“Why do I have to limit my meat consumption and use paper straws while the 1% gets to pump tons of carbon into the atmosphere for a day trip to Palm Springs?” wrote one follower.
Meanwhile, a rep for Swift defended the “All Too Well” singer’s private jet use by claiming she is not always the person aboard her aircraft.
“Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,” her spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. “To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.”

The answer did not sit well with eco-warriors, as the jet was still making regular flights regardless of who was taking them.
“I love how you are spreading the blame for your private jet. Allowing other people to use it adds to the increased carbon footprint,” one social media user wrote. “It’s not enough that you are a hypocrite, but you encourage others to be the same. How is that ok?”
