Dominica to ban plastics and styrofoam by 2019

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I'm sure the poor people that live there are thrilled!

I know this is kind of a default deadoman response, but is there any evidence these bans hurt poor people disproportionately? (As opposed to say, plastic bag fees, which are regressive).

Anyway, these sort of bans are far more useful in developing countries that don't have enough infrastructure to deal with their garbage properly (not that I know enough about grabagr collection in Dominica to say whether they're doing an adequate job).
