Just much salt should I use to be safe from slipping and falling but also ensure the protection of water?

20 million pounds of salt are used each year on our roads. Road salt, while making winter driving safe, comes at a cost. It pollutes drinking water, corrodes cars, damages habitat and wildlife, can hurt pets and also damages roads and concrete walkways.

Making small changes is better than no changes at all.

Less really is more when it comes to using salt. Excessive use harms the environment by polluting waterways and damage plants. Use SMART SALTING techniques to apply ONLY the necessary amount based on road conditions.
