It is reported that nowadays it is a common phenomenon that trolleys found abandoned at public places or taken into possession by shoppers . NTUC FairPrice is losing trolleys at an average rate of 200 per month.
Although most people know that they should return the trolley, but, the customers indicate that because the heavy goods, they just use the trolley to carry the things back home; or because they are too lazy to put the trolleys back.
I think the hypermarkets should definately adopt some efficient measures to reduce or even eliminate this kind of behavior. Maybe some punishment can be exerted or just hire some security to help supervise. But I think the most important thing is to reinforce the public awareness. Only in this way, can this kind of phenomenon be eliminated thoroughly.
Through this phenomenon, we can also see that the public awareness is decreasing, at least, to some extent. It may not be so serious, but it does has something to do with molarity. Because this may reflect the selfish side of the people. They do not realise how much inconvience they have brought to other people and how much lost they have caused to the supermarkets. In addition, this kind of behavior will definately exert a bad influence on the next generation.
The government should reinforce the publicity to arouse the awareness of the public and the supermarket as well, should make some slogens for example, to appeal to the customers that it is a great manner to return the trolleys.

You have stated the problem of trolleys loss in supermarkets and have related it to public awareness as well as molarity. In my opinion, you have thought about this problem deeply and have got some good ideas in the reflection. I agree with you on the point that "But I think the most important thing is to reinforce the public awareness." The trolleys loss is only the phenomenon, and the issue behind it is the lack of public awareness and the sence of social responsibility. People sometimes just concern about themselves or their own family but forget their roles as menbers of the sociaty. The order in the sociaty depends on every citizen so that it is essential to strengthen peolple's public awareness. To meet this aim, it is important to give proper leading other than punishment. For instance, posters or public-service ads can be made to give people positive influence. The increasing of public awareness may cost a long period of time. However, only the changes people's concepts achieved can the problem be solved radically.
