Shopping carts made of plastic (No joke!)

[matrixmann]

Anyone's already seen the latest craze - shopping carts with the basket area entirely made of plastic?
Only the wheel area and their legs that connect to the basket made of metal?

One of those things which make you ask how much the appeals to you personally to use less plastic in life to go easier on the environment are actually meant seriously...

I never notice cause I hate shopping. Definitely a chore.

But I would say it is done obviously to save on the cost of producing the carts. Do they claim it is better for the environment?

Cost saying is some reason I considered too.
If I think back to the fight over cheap steel from China which there was a fuzz about last year...

Other than that, I can't come up for a reason why one should start to make those parts of plastic.

They aren't that weight-heavy while pushing around, but seriously, put two bags of potatoes in it or a six-pack of any sort of drinks of your choice and then this thing gets harder to push around again... So, what the heck...?
