Sebastian Vettel took a stand for the environment on Sunday. In a heartwarming gesture, he stayed back after his DNF at the British GP to pick up the litter left by the fans on the grandstands. The four-time world champion spent hours clearing trash from the stands. He has been very outspoken about environmental concerns about sustainability. Last Sunday, Vettel showcased a beautiful example of practice what you preach.

Sebastian said, “It is important that we all respect the environment and not rely on other people to clean up behind us.”

Vettel didn’t stop there; after a tiresome evening on the stands, he went to Grundon Waste Management facilities to learn about recycling the next morning. The German saw how waste recycling is managed, and how items that can’t be recycled get incinerated.

Keep it clean- Sebastian Vettel

“The clock is ticking. We now need to find solutions that will help our planet. That is why it is now up to ourselves to let actions speak for themselves and not to ignore the climate crisis. We all have a responsibility.”
