With a watershed home to 2.4 million people, not to mention habitat for millions of animals, the Anacostia is too important to remain DC's "forgotten river." But decades of pollution and neglect are hard to reverse all at once. But slow, steady steps--like the DC bag tax--are making a dent in the river's recovery. With a goal of a clean Anacostia by 2030, maybe--just maybe--the watershed will in our lifetimes be home to healthy fish and provide for healthy people.
