Baltimore Marathon leaves smaller footprint

The Baltimore Running Festival people, like many other major race organizers, decided this was the year to really make an effort on the environmental front. And they just reported their final numbers from the race that drew 20,000 runners out for the day.
Here's the breakdown:
*75 percent of waste either recycled or composted;
*16,640 pounds of material recycled;
*2,200 pound of material composted;
*150 pounds of heatsheets recycled;
*162 pairs of shoes recycled through Soles 4 Souls;
*48.3 tons of carbon offset;
*3 hybrid and 1 electric vehicles used;
*210 gallons of biodiesel used;
*100 trees planted.
Runners also received new Under Armour shirts made from recycled materials.
So, anyone have any feedback? Did they do a good job? Anything more they could have done?
