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 don't think I noticed when that happened here. But the entire procedure of shopping is something I'd rather never do.

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?

The most ecological could be the wooden carts as it couldn't be not sounding strange - the wooden - we are wishing lately and going to save the forests so how we could save them doing everything from wood? But to produce any metal – iron for example (not to mention aluminum) we have to burn much more than the forests - we should burn incredible amount of coal which is very dirty and extra amount of carbon oxide in our atmosphere and it is a question what is more harmful for ecology the metals or the plastics cause we have to count the amount of energy we are spending on making them and their time of working after. The metals are wonderful with melt down them again and again while plastic is much cheaper and have many incredibly different capabilities.
