Attach Shelves to Metal Wall Studs

Metal studs are an environmentally friendly building material due to their ability to be recycled. The thin-gauge metal studs, however, pose problems for homeowners who are used to hanging shelves and decorations from wood studs.

Therefore, you must use another kind of fastener that plays on the strength of the entire stud, not the thickness of the metal. Does this Spark an idea?
