Nother example- A young man and his wife go to the grocery store. They purchase their groceries, which the store packs for them into paper bags.

Next week the young man and his wife go to the grocery store. They purchase their groceries, and are shocked that the store no longer has paper bags. All bags shall now be plastic, they are told. "What the? says wife. "I know, I don't get it, isn't that shit really bad for the environment?"

"This is truly f-ed man. Can you imagine,in twenty or 30 years, all the plastic bags in the landfill?"

...

Environ-Mentalist: "Trees are a valuable resource and should not be cut down. Cutting down trees for useless things such as grocery bags, is bad for the environment."

The year is 2019. A young man and his wife go to the grocery store. They purchase their groceries, which the store packs for them into plastic bags. The store charges them a fee for each plastic bag. The young couple think nothing of paying for this and pay the fee. The them it is normal.

Old man-
"This is truly f-ed man. Why should I pay 5 cents for a plastic bag? Why not let me buy a paper bag?"

Environ-Mentalist: "Paper bags cost far more energy to produce per bag. As long as the consumer pays a fee for each plastic bag, it goes toward purchasing carbon credits to offset our country's financial penalty, since we didn't meet our commitments."

Normal person: "Ah, so" 

Example # 3

Trudeau Imposes Carbon Tax

Each industry will have a certain emissions target relative to that sector’s current average -- companies can pay a tax if they go over the level, or they can buy credits from others that are above it.

Paying a fee is all that's necessary?, and you can bet where that money comes from. Environmentalism.
