Clean Fairfax also supports Earth Day events; more than 2200 people attended the events last year. Clean Fairfax plans to advocate for more policies around plastic pollution, perhaps the most vexing part of its work. You can help by eliminating your use of bottled water (use a refillable bottle/thermos) and properly recycling plastic containers. Reusable bags for groceries and other shopping eliminate the need for plastic bags, but many customers still are paying the five cents per plastic bag tax that was imposed in Fairfax County in January 2022. Tax revenue, which must be used for recycling and environmental programs, exceeded $600,000, which means that millions of plastic bags still are being used in the county. As more people use recyclable bags, the amount of revenue will decrease, which is a good thing! was arrested for Driving Under the Influence.
