Ice Ain't Nice
Especially when it's covering your sidewalk! Here are two ways to be more environmentally-friendly when removing ice from your sidewalks: First, you can chop it manually with your shovel. Second you can find environmentally-friendly de-icing salt.
Additional Information:
- According to a study at ISU, calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) is a relatively new salt-free melting agent made from dolomitic limestone and acetic acid. It causes little damage to concrete or plants and is used as an alternative to salts in environmentally-sensitive areas.
