❄️ Winter Deicing Tip 💧
Snow and ice melt can carry salt into local waterways, harming plants, wildlife, and water quality—and excess salt also damages sidewalks and concrete, causing cracking, crumbling, and costly repairs. One 12-oz coffee mug of salt is enough for a 20-ft driveway or 10 sidewalk squares, so shovel first, use less, sweep up extra, and try safer traction options like sand or birdseed. 🌱
