LA Galaxy soccer star David Beckham has been accused of having the world's largest carbon footprint. In the past 12 months, Goldenballs has flown a whopping 163,000 miles for his Euro 2008 qualifiers and more than 8,000 miles following his wife Victoria Beckham on the Spice Girls on tour. Plus - there's all his club travelling and trips for advertising and sponsorship commitments.
"The amount of flying David does means he holds the dubious crown of having the largest carbon footprint in human history," explains a Carbon Trust spokesman.
"He should use his celebrity status to make people aware of the damage that traveling can cause to the planet."
The 32-year-old father of three owns 15 gas guzzling cars, including a Hummer, Porsche and Lincoln Navigator.
He has reportedly created a staggering 163 tons of CO2, compared with the 9.4 tons of the average Britain.
Environmentalists are now urging Beckham to go green.
"With all his money he should be using it at least to reduce his own footprint,' the spokesman tells the Daily Star. 'He could also choose greener cars."
