Tips

Help keep rivers and groundwater healthy in the winter.  Shovel snow and ice early and often to limit your use of sand, salt, and deicing chemicals.  When safety requires it, try an alternative to salt, such as those listed at the USEPA’s Design for the Environment webpage at www.epa.gov/dfe.

"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
