ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

· If around 1% of America's food shoppers used a Shop & Carry® food wagon,
approximately 56 Million paper bags will be saved per year.

· Plastic bags are also unnecessary when using the Shop & Carry® food wagon.
A reduction in the use of plastic bags will reduce our landfill problems.

· When the consumer owns his/her own food wagon, less litter will accumulate in parking lots because flyers, advertising brochures, coupons and newspapers will not be left behind.

· Shop & Carry® can be used to keep empty recyclable cans and bottles.
This will keep your recycles neat, organized and ready to return to supermarket service centers.

· Hopefully, by the end of this decade, numerous types of containers will be returned for refilling, reuse and finally recycling under the future "Dual System" laws. The Shop & Carry® makes returning such items effortless.

· Energy will be saved from "less packaging" with the Shop & Carry® food wagon providing the long sought after substructure needed! Besides fruits and vegetables going directly into the top container without any plastic bags, the following becomes feasible:
Stores that sell products that are unpacked still have to provide plastic bags to the customer in order to transport the amount they decided to buy. Just as the Shop & Carry® food wagon carries empty returnable bottles and cans to the store for deposits, customers will bring clear empty containers in their wagon . These containers with their empty weight imprinted on the front, can be filled with coffee, sugar, beans, cereal, and so on. The supermarket no longer has to supply plastic bags to package the unpacked product! Now add up the energy savings associated with just these three examples:
Less cardboard cereal boxes - Less cans for peanuts - Less jars for pickles

       
   
         
   
         
 
 

SAVING ENERGY TO MAKE AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT ! WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY !
Through the immense connecting intra-structure, America will save on: gasoline, packaging, garbage removal, rectifying tomorrow's pollution problems that were created today, etc.
For example, the change with truck deliveries due to less use of paper or plastic bags associated with metal wagons, could save as much gasoline as the law allowing Right Turns on Red Lights.
(Actual numbers on above statistics are available upon request.)

above: Storage of paper bags at a supermarket.
A FEW EXAMPLES:
- Energy saved with the gasoline needed for trucks delivering paper and plastic bags
- Energy saved associated with metal wagon repairs and off site retrieval
- Energy saved with the gasoline used for power saws to cut down trees
- Energy saved with the diesel fuel a tugboat uses to push a garbage badge
- Less fuel needed for the manufacturing of paper and plastic bags used in supermarkets
- The energy used in the future to rectify the pollution problems created today.

OVERLOOKED EXAMPLES:
Electricity saved with the lights that are only on in an area because that is where paper or plastic bags are stored!

Energy saved from the production of coupons as the Shop & Carry® food wagon contributes intensely to stream-line coupon procedures already initiated by companies such as: Procter and Gamble and Post Cereals.

Energy saved with the "less packaging" of many additional products. The foundation for providing the "means" to have less packaging in the food industry didn't exist, until now.
