Chloride from deicing salt is polluting our local waterbodies at increasing rates. Just 1 teaspoon of salt is enough to permanently pollute 5 gallons of water. Learn steps to use less salt and be salt smart this winter. https://t.co/KbCeOg4Dcf

Remember, ice is never 100% safe. Check ice thickness frequently this winter. https://t.co/qrruEeHfPs https://t.co/OnKkLNb0nI

Even in the winter, remember to pick up after your pet. Pet waste contains bacteria that can make animals and people sick and pollute local water, whatever the temperature outside.
