I am conscious about having and keeping a healthy environment but liberals / progressives / environmentalists have rallied behind an extremely short-sighted policy. (Thread continues)

So first off, deforestation is already a problem and one that can be alleviated with production of paper products using quickly-growing help as part of the solution. Instead, we now need more paper products, and with less carbon in the air, less trees and less trees growing.
So now with these new paper products that don't work really well, consumers will require more of them to perform in a similar manner as their plastic counterparts. = more waste (although biodegradable hopefully)
So there will be more demand for these products (for reasons above), but wait, how many producers of these products exist? Normally more demand = falling costs but if production is limited, that coffee is going to be a premium price due to lack of supply.
And sometimes the working poor who maybe barely have time to cook or just rent a room, who try and source the cheapest outdoor meals now have to starve a bit more because they need that money for bus fare, laundry etc because they can't pay more for food. Homeless included.
And what about the producers of the plastics that will no longer be allowed?
I am against any corporate welfare so I would rather see tax breaks but is the federal government going to help them retool their business to do something else? How many layoffs coming?

With more layoffs the possibility of more working poor increases, leading to the dependency on the state, that the current Canadian establishment is driving us to.
All to just make the empty gesture of showing the world that, "We care about the environment."
