Khloé Alexandra Kardashian is an American media personality, socialite, and model. She recently posted Instagram stories to raise awareness about single-use plastic. She noted that while she promotes water bottles, fans should switch to a reusable jug.
Khloe said, “So many people tag me in these huge gallon-sized jugs of water and I feel awesome because I know people are staying hydrated. There’s something that irks me is that I see people taking water bottles and they’re just pouring them into the gallon size reusable plastic bottle so they can consume their water for the day. That defeats the purpose because those water bottles are just going to go into a landfill somewhere and potentially cause you know pollution.”
She added, “We’re trying to limit our single usage of plastics, so I think people should just be aware of that. The point of this is yes to stay hydrated, but also to hopefully reduce you know all the pollution.” “That is a lot smarter than buying cases of waters. If you’re going to be using reusable jugs like I am, and if not every day … I get it. Sometimes we need to grab a water bottle,” she continued. “I’m not saying that or judging that, I’m just saying that I don’t know why we’re pouring water bottles and using … just to throw that plastic away for these jugs. So, I’m turning into Kourtney, but let’s try to save the environment for the kids.”
Many social media users couldn’t keep themselves from pointing the reality star’s “hypocrisy” because Khloe was continuously negligent towards environmental change and global warming in the past.
One user criticised, “Khloe is really out here trying to shame her followers for using single-use water bottles, when every party they throw looks like this (next tweet). This girl is too much.” While one said: “Khloe Kardashian is irked because you’re using plastic water bottles. I’m irked because Khloe Kardashian flys all over the world on private jets causing massive pollution. I’m irked because she decorates with thousands of balloons for parties. Hell, even her fingernails irk me.”
While another joked: “not khloe kardashian complaining about single use plastic bottles as bad for the environment when she and her family exclusively travel by private jets”
The star had been seen using and promoting single-use plastic in her life on many occasions.
