I'm curious, could you explain to me the rationale behind the implementation of bag fees? What purpose does it serve for both the airline companies and the passengers? Does it really contribute to a more sustainable and efficient travel experience, or is it merely a way for airlines to increase their revenue streams? I'm eager to understand the full picture behind this common practice in the aviation industry.

The bag law's primary objective revolves around modifying consumer behavior patterns, specifically by discouraging the use of single-use bags. This measure is aimed at minimizing the accumulation of waste that contributes to pollution in the District's waterways.

By implementing a fee on disposable bags, the law hopes to incentivize individuals to opt for reusable alternatives, thereby reducing the overall consumption of such bags.

The revenue generated from these bag fees is not left unutilized. Instead, it is directed towards a specific purpose: funding the Anacostia River Clean Up and Protection Fund.
