Wow. I caught five seconds of this on the news, and all I came away with was "plastic bags" and "five cents". I didn't know it was already in the works (or maybe I just forgot about it) in DC. In my daily life, I'm always short of plastic bags, but use them in nearly every application imaginable that they could be used for... it's a bag. Stuff goes in it.
I do know, however, that in places in Europe, such as Germany, and in Scotland (perhaps all of the UK now) this endeavor for phasing out, or at least gaining revenue from plastic bags, and bottles, whether glass or plastic or aluminum, has been underway for a majority of the past decade.
