(ANSA) – TEULADA, 09 JUL – The former Formula 1 world champion, Nico Rosberg, has donated five thousand trees to Sardinia. The German arrived yesterday in Teulada to attend the Extreme E Island X Prix, a race reserved for electric SUVs co-organized by the Automobile Club of Italy with the partnership of the Sardinia Region in which he is involved as the number one of his team Rosberg X Racing, which currently leads the general classification with the crew formed by the Swedes Johan Kristoffersson and Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky.
Nico Rosberg once again wanted to show his generosity. In October 2021, on the occasion of the first Sardinian stop of Extreme E, he had visited the places of Oristano affected by the devastating fires of the summer of 2021. And, on that occasion, he had made a generous donation of 39 thousand euros in favor of the Cross Rossa in Santu Lussurgiu, to support the daily expenses and urgent needs of the 200 families in the area that had been damaged by the fires.
Meanwhile, Nico has not forgotten those places where the vegetation and even the first ten centimeters of soil had been devoured by the flames. “Impossible to forget what I saw, it seemed to be on Mars. It was painful to be told by people that they had inherited those destroyed lands from their ancestors and that they would have to wait twenty years to see them again as they were,” he commented. And for this reason, with the Nico Rosberg Foundation and the support of Allianz, it has decided to marry the Life Terra project, an international association that aims to plant five million trees throughout Europe, and has donated 5,000 trees to Sardinia, which will be planted. next fall. In addition to this, Rosberg will also promote an environmental education course that will accompany the students of the Teulada schools throughout the next school year.
Yesterday, in the park of the Sulcis town, three olive trees were symbolically planted, one by Rosberg, one by the mayor of Teulada Daniele Serra and one by General Stefano Scanu, Commander of the Army in Sardinia. (HANDLE).
