thesun.co.ukLIAM Payne may have told fans he's keen to reduce his carbon footprint but it seems he's struggling to stick to his pledge. Despite publicly supporting Earth Day and launching a sustainable collection with HUGO, the One Direction singer, 28, made a 10,000 mile round trip to play golf last week.
