dabunk, you would argue that emissions from the gas carts and their noise are equivalent to or better than recycling and charging batteries?
This issue is important because it comes down to a personal choice. The goal, of getting where you want to go without walking, is achieved with either type of cart.
Again, I don't see people giving up their gas carts. But I think it is important to point out that the green alternative is available when cart replacement time arrives.
