Formula One worries about climate change
A Formula One race is probably not the first place you would expect to find serious talk about climate change. But, the sport (which could be seen as the least green in the world) is taking climate change seriously.
By 2011 they intend to have introduced a number of new rules aimed at reducing fuel consumption. Currently the cars can burn up to a litre of fuel per kilometre. Formula One would like to be a pioneer in greener driving. Honda's Nick Fry told Reuters:
"Formula One is one of the best marketing tools in the world. If we get behind it, the potential is unsurpassed...The people who like the sport would be the hardest nuts to crack. They tend to be performance fans and drive cars for performance rather than economy. We're trying to say you can be a fan of fast cars and do good things for the environment."
