The jet has crisscrossed across the continental United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Texas and several other states often before returning to its <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent base in San Jose, Calif.<\/p>\n<p>In that time span, Zuckerberg\u2019s private jet emitted more than 253 metric tons of carbon, a greenhouse gas that experts say is\u00a0contributing to global warming\u00a0and climate change. By comparison, the average American has a total carbon footprint of 16 tons a year while the average person worldwide burns about 4 tons a year, according to The Nature Conservancy.<\/p>\n<p>The Gulfstream recorded several long-distance cross-country treks over the last two months, but also made multiple short trips, the data showed.
