Road salt begins to lose effectiveness at -10C and is ineffective below -20C. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how much product to use and check its effective temperature range. This winter, let's be #LessSalty. bit.ly/LessSalty #SorryNotSalty

The words aren't salty enough - this is an all-out catastrophe. We're actively, eagerly, destroying the greatest freshwater ecosystem on Earth - all so that we can drive as fast as possible, and "avoid" the tiniest chance of lawsuit. #themodernworld #longtermpain #saltinthewound teapaw.org/TRCA_News/status/95380…

In rivers and streams, excess #salt negatively impacts the plants, insects, and fish that live there. #Fish maintain a salt and water balance in their bodies by a process called “osmoregulation” which moves water into or out of their cells. #SaltyLakeSimcoe

Companies like @TimHortons attacking workers over minimum wage hikes in Ontario show us what we've always known. Big corporations aren't looking out for us. Support small/local businesses!
