Presumably all the people whose lives are saved by these medical devices would then be lost. All the devices that make our quality of life infinitely more advanced than it was in the past would be gone, and so too would the quality of life on which we depend. The kids who are standing in protest and demanding a ban on plastic would not be able to organize that protest, because their phones would not be possible without plastic; and they wouldn't be able to get to the protest in the first place, because of the plastic that's required to make their automobiles.
Really, regarding this idea of declaring plastic to be a toxin, what do you think will be the impact on our lives here in Canada if it goes ahead?
