Looks like a bitch in corners.
You could probably tow your fifth wheel with that.
It's just an assumption, but it's quite possible the girls parents, or grandparents, were among those environmentalists that argued against using paper bags and paper milk cartons because they wanted to save trees. They argued that plastic bags and plastic bottle would save the planet by saving the trees. I understand manufacturers make the plastic items and profit from them but prior to the plastic craze that was fought for about 40 some odd years ago paper products were actually much more environmentally friendly. Paper products that are not reused, repurposes, or recycled break down in the environment and become soil. Plastic items that are discarded also breakdown but they contaminate the ground and the water and they are deadly to animals and marine life, and to humans when their microscopic particles get into our food and water.
And, although they supposedly save the trees by doing away with all those paper products they are using just as much paper and killing as many trees by buying things online and having them shipped individually in cardboard boxes.
The people who were/are "environmentalists" may or may not have heard of managed forestry. Hell, there are probably "lumber barons" who disregard the conserving aspects of it; but it is a thing.
Those triangles with a number inside, found on most 'rigid' plastic food containers, are supposed to indicate to recyclers what 'flavor' plastic they are holding - that supposedly can be reused to reduce manufacturing costs for new containers. I don't know if it is actually done, but it is a thing.
Are those things among the legion of things in the industrialized world that are - for "practical purposes" - bullcrap?
