Living near and shopping in the D.C. area, I have seen the bags in the rivers and it is beyond bad, in some areas it appears you could walk across them to the other side, it really is gross.
I have no problem paying an additional .5 cents for a bag as long as the entire profit from the bags go toward clean-up situations and NOTHING else, the ONLY thing that should get "rich" on this tax is the environment.
In most grocery stores I shop at you get a .5 cent credit for each reusable bag you bring and use.
