After two unsuccessful attempts to ban, restrict or tax bottled water and plastic bags in the county, Arlington County Board Vice Chairman Jay Fisette (D) thinks a big education campaign is the best alternative. The board member would like to inform consumers about bottled water's eye-popping environmental-impact statistics -- like the cost is 1,000 times that of tap water and it takes 700 years for bottles to begin to decompose.

The Examiner reports that although the impact on the environment may be good, the job market may take a hit.
