Formula One to cut emissions by 15 percent within 3 years, becomes first green-ish sports organization
While it’s good, I suppose, to see Formula One “go green,” let’s not pretend it’s doing so for altruistic reasons. No, it seems F1 has been feeling the pressure from many of its advertisers, advertisers who want to be associated with a “green” sport. Perhaps it makes sense: F1 is sort of an upper class sport (unlike, say, Nascar, which is a Southern Everyman sport), and these people would be most concerned about global warming and the like. Plus, they have money to spend, and you wouldn’t want to get on their bad side.
