It seems that the World Cup South Africa 2010 kidnapped the attention "environmentally" world champion Formula One, which was the fundamental objective of environmental activists, prompting the bosses of the Formula One to introduce several amendments to reduce the size of the environmental pollution caused by the sport.
The motor sport an easy target for environmental activists, especially as the car (everyday) is the primary cause of environmental problems that affect the ozone layer and cause global warming.
And environmental problems have become a vital issue in the "agendas" political, social, and the idea that Formula One car and consume vast amounts of fuel during one lap to make the sport subject to widespread criticism, and to reduce consumption in the next two years to about 30% than is the current situation is an important step forward but is That would be enough?.
