Redistribution Harms Environment

Here is a working hypothesis
Giving money to low income people harms the environment and harms society

The question is this
What would that money be used for without redistribution versus what do the low income people use it for?

I would guess that the low income people use it for

food and shelter and medicine

but they also use a lot of it for

drugs
alcohol
tobacco
gambling
entertainment
gasoline
and making babies

so maybe the net result is to harm the environment by consumption of polluting resources
and to harm society by the consumption of vice

my suggestion
environmental impact studies of redistribution

has this been done?
