__**<span style="color: #c0c0c0; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">How do Abandoned Shopping Trolleys Affect Our Local Society? **__ media type="custom" key="19390100"<span style="color: #c0c0c0; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Samantha told us what happens to the shops if we abandon shopping trolleys. If we take shopping trolleys without returning it, this causes shops lots of money and trouble, especially if they find damaged trolleys. It takes around one hundred to four hundred dollars for a shop to repair one trolley and it takes two million dollars overall! Shops don't have that money so who do they charge? Us! This means higher prices in their own products. Can you think of other ways abandoned trolleys affect our local society?
