All this road salt can't be good for the environment either. It comes to something when you see coastal plants such as samphires growing on motorway central reservations.
Neither is the rust that falls off the cars, which is caused by the salt!
Wonder how much longer tratters would last before starting to rust if there were no salt...might be at least 9 months now instead of rusting before the first owner takes delivery!
They last for ever here........... Most all snow and ice removal is done with trucks that have plows on them. And our grit is mostly sand with salt added
