As many of you know, when you go to the store in DC you have to pay $0.05 to get a plastic bags. The amount of revenue that the tax is generating is way lower than what legislators expected to receive from the tax. That's a good thing! The tax is dissuading people from using plastic bags. Eventually when the US is out of these economic times, DC can serve as a model for other cities for adopting a bag tax policy, which will decrease plastic bag usage across America.
