I remember when that switch at grocers from paper to plastic was taking hold, and you could choose. "Paper or plastic?" was the question asked. Some comedian (probably) had a good one liner: "That'll be 42.39. Kill a tree or choke a fish?"

It's mostly a good example of why comedians aren't a source of information.

Plantation lumber is a very sustainable industry, and plastic's environmental impact is highly context dependent.
