I'm all for saving the Anacostia, don't get me wrong. And the plight of the Chesapeake is deplorable. I'd also love it if we could, as a nation, become independent of fossil fuels. So, generally, yes. I agree. Plastic bags are a terrible thing. but when (if) the DC city council passes this $0.05-per-bag thing, pet owners across the city will suffer.
I need my plastic bags - I use one every day to scoop litter. Girl's giant dog creates some pretty nasty man-sized poo, which if she were to leave it on the sidewalk (and get caught doing so), entails a fine of something on the order of $50.
Ok, fine. You're right - I should man up and buy a couple of reusable bags. But I might start hoarding the free bags they hand out at the dog park. Just sayin'...
