Hold up—are these people being serious?

They say we “live in a way right now that is destroying our planet,” but then want to tax people for using paper and plastic bags. How is a tax going to make it possible “for future generations to live on this planet?” It will do nothing but hurt the poor; those who struggle the most in our community.

That kind of regulation is what will make life much harder for future generations. These “sustainability” groups need to likewise “recognize that” and “change.” The solution to this “plastic bag problem” is out there somewhere, and it will have NOTHING to do with taxation. All of our planet’s environmental concerns can—and hopefully will—be solved through economic and technological advancement. Without the prosperity of people, there will be zero expansion towards a more sustainable world.
