GONE are the days when celebrities are content with being attractive in front of the camera. Nowadays, celebrities are using their popularity for different advocacies.
With US President Donald Trump's announcement Thursday night that his country, said to be the biggest carbon polluter in the world, is leaving the Paris Climate Deal, celebrities reacted. #ParisAgreement quickly became the top trending topic on Twitter shortly after Trump's announcement.
Leonardo DiCaprio, a noted environmentalist who starred in and produced the environmental documentary Before the Flood, sent out a series of tweets against Trump's controversial decision. Here are a couple of his reactions and what other celebrities have to say about it.
Today, our planet suffered. It’s more important than ever to take action. #ParisAgreement
