Washington D.C. Begins 5 Cent Plastic Bag Fee Tomorrow

WTOP reports that stores that carry food and alcoholic beverages in Washington D.C. will start charging a 5 cent bag fee tomorrow. Some D.C. are going to be giving away resusable bags to consumers.
In order to help consumers avoid the fee, a number of stores in the District will be giving away reusable bags starting this Friday.

Giant will give shoppers a reusable bag with every purchase at a District store between Friday and January 7. Safeway will also begin giving them away starting Friday.

For the entire month of January, Harris Teeter will give shoppers a reusable bag with a purchase of 20 dollars.
The plastic bag fee was approved unanimously by the D.C. City Council in June, 2009.
