A person who frequently or impulsively travels long distances, often by carbon-emitting transportation (planes, cars, etc.), to pursue their hobby or passion, such as cycling, running, or creating travel content. While their adventures are often enviable and inspiring, their carbon footprint is notably high, leading to a mix of admiration and environmental guilt
"Dude, did you see Juliet's latest video? She flew to Girona just to hit some gravel tracks. Total Carbon Whore, but man, those views were epic."
"Ben's a total Carbon Whore—he’s always jetting off to some new country to run marathons and post about it. His Instagram is fire, but his carbon footprint is probably melting the polar ice caps."
