Protecting the Economy vs. Protecting the Environment
That so many workers have lost their jobs is a legitamate concern, but so is the effect of billions of plastic bags filling landfills and polluting the environment and food chain.
If these workers need something to do, maybe the government can put them to work manufacturing solar panels and low-emission cars, or working on farms to export food to countries that need it. I'm not tyring to be glib, I just don't think that employment and sustainability are mutually exclusive goals.
