They lose several kilos in weight during a race in very warm conditions.
Maybe I need to take up F1 racing.

Says who? I think you're defining sport to parallel your particular concept of what it should be
I have raced a car, kart and a motor bike a little and I can assure they there is plenty of physical exertion involved.
sports:
football, basketball, handball, waterpolo
games:
baseball, tennis
activities:
knitting, gardening, cycling, car racing
same thing with cooking risotto for a large group of people. i didn't say anything about exertion.
I think vuk’s definition is somewhat arbitrary, and not defensible.
Agreed, also mixing up a large batch of buttercream icing is a proper workout.
you've obviously never made risotto, at least not the correct way.
Oooo food snobbery
Good point, but this is a minnow in the vast ocean of commercial flying. Putting aside passenger flights, think of the vast air freight business. I'm constantly amazed at the stuff I find in the local supermarket, which was probably air-freighted here. Is this really necessary?

Intensive farming and the global food-supply chains have a lot to answer for.
As mentioned upthread meat farming is by far the most environmentally destructive behaviour of humans at present. Vuk always evades that one. Want to go green? Start by going vegetarian/vegan.
we should also get rid of formula 1 and stop what a friend described as "a continual and perverse celebration of fossil fuel burning machines". just like we are trying not to celebrate colonialists and slave-traders.
Your favoured corporate/oligarch ball games are far from green too as they are funded by junk food, single-season clothing etc etc.
