Nickel Power: Plastic Bag Use Plummets in Nation’s Capital
The nation’s capital is witnessing the power of a nickel.
Use of disposable paper and plastic bags in the District of Columbia has plummeted 86 percent since the city first began imposing a fee on their use Jan. 1.
Customers who tote their food or liquor purchases home in store-provided bags are now charged 5 cents for each one they use. The fees go to a fund for cleaning up the city’s Anacostia River.

The deer, which had presumably wandered in to the Zoo from neighboring Rock Creek Park, managed to run inside the lion habitat, and the lions, being lions, went after the young animal like it was a tasty snack.
unfortunately, the video doesnt show the deer getting munched on…i guess it had to be put down due to its injuries, but still pretty cool:
