I LIVED IN THE DISTRICT FOR 30 YEARS, EVERY YEAR THE DISTRICT IS CLEANING THE ANACOSTIA WHY ARE THEY NOW ASKING EACH RESIDENT TO PAY 5 CENTS PER PLASTIC BAG?
THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO ASK FOR THE BAG OR DENY THE BAG.
EXAMPLE: SUBWAY AUTOMACTLY ADDS 5 CENTS TO ALL SANDWICHES WITHOUT ASKING THE CUSTOMER IF THEY WANT A PLASTIC BAG.

Although I agree with the sentiment of the bill, I feel that it is wrong to put funds only to the cleanup of the Anacostia River. Although historically ignored, today the Anacostia is receiving a large amount of attention because of the city initiative to restore the waterfront and active watershed organizations. There are, however several other streams in the District that receive a great deal of trash and pollution that are outside of the Anacostia watershed and should not be neglected by the City.
