Djokovic: Educate children to recycle

NOVAK DJOKOVIC has spoken candidly about how much he cares for the natural world.

Last August, the Serbian tennis legend, right, said: ‘Environmental issues are essential. Not just for me, I think it should be essential for anybody else. This is the only planet we’ve got and so we might as well try to take care of it.’

A blog on his Novak Djokovic Foundation’s website in 2019 urged parents to be ‘eco role models’ for their children by getting them to recycle and not waste water.

Yet Djokovic, 35, flies around the world on a private jet supplied by rival Roger Federer’s firm NetJets, which hires its fleet to VIPs.

The company has sponsored Djokovic since 2015 and he ‘owns’ part of a plane under a fractional ownership arrangement.
