DC does it as well as Montgomery County, MD...the state of MD is considering it statewide...the claim behind it is due to bags and degradation in the dumps and sewage system issues and yadda yadda yadda.....

Several rounds of antibotics and two surgeries?

Death had her number, it had nothing to do with plastic bags.

Cows goats etc eat plastic bags in trashs and die as it gets stuck in their stomach.  Garbage is full of plastics that also ends in the oceans and kills...  Maybe charging us will reduce the garbage.
