		<description><![CDATA[Last January Washington, D.C. began implementing a tax on disposable paper and plastic carryout bags. The 5-cent fee on bags produced an almost immediate reduction in the usage of single-use bags and their subsequent appearance in area waterways. The bag tax is great and all, but it makes me wonder: Why doesn&#8217;t DC have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are getting fatter. And by we I mean Americans–some 26.7 percent of adults in the United States were obese in 2009. So, not only are our New Year&#8217;s resolutions to lose weight not working, but we&#8217;re actually gaining.
