recycling public events

It's good to see that the completely environmentally unfriendly V8 races in Hamilton are at least providing recycling bins around the track for the public to use. It's probably just a token gesture to make themselves look better but it's better than nothing. I can only imagine the rubbish that will be generated as a result.
Will there come a day when events like this don't happen anymore? I can imagine there will.
