LAS VEGAS, NEV. — Formula 1 may only roll into Las Vegas once a year, but organizers say they're putting sustainability in the fast lane to make a lasting difference in the community.

On Saturday, every time there's an overtake on the track, a tree will be planted in the valley.

"We're trying to create access to green spaces, address urban heat island effect, air pollution. There's a number of benefits to plant trees and so what we're doing is that for every overtake, we will be planting a tree with IMPACT NV and the best part is our partners at Southern Nevada Water Authority have agreed to do a one for one match," Jeremy Walters, Las Vegas Grand Prix's Community Engagement Director, said.
