From Grand Prix of Canada
The Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada is pleased to announce the creation of an original program, developed with the exceptional collaboration of Cascades Inc.
Indeed, the Canadian company will help create floral arrangements to decorate each of the 600 tables of the corporate suites complex located alongside the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve for the weekend of June 7, 8 and 9.
They will also be used as centerpieces in the media lounge, where the meals for the international press present in Montréal will be served. Already created from recycled materials, plastic parts and cardboard, the "centerpieces" will be entirely recycled after the event, while annual flowers and white pine shoots will be planted in Quebec in a predetermined location.
Note that in addition to being recognized for thirty-four years as the annual round of the World Championship where almost all of the hundreds of thousands of spectators arrive to the circuit using public transport, the Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada works in collaboration with the Consortium écho-logique since 2004, assigned to the collection and recycling of waste during the weekend of the event.
A non-for-profit organization, the Consortium écho-logique deploys a brigade of about sixty people each year during the three days of the event who collect more than 23,000 pounds of recyclable materials (wood, cardboard and paper, metals, plastics, glass) in addition to composting all materials that could be.
It is important to acknowledge that since 1997, the FIA and Formula 1 teams have put forward programs to capture gas emissions in order to make the World Championship carbon neutral. The appearance on the cars in 2010 of the kinetic energy recovery system - the KERS - and the new turbocharged V6 engines in 2014, are some other illustrations of the environmental concerns of Formula 1.
