Hey #Ontario friends, take this chance to do something nice for the environment that is simple and fast! Right here is a petition to look into alternatives to road salt, which is toxic and polluting the Great Lakes. Given current #water issues, this is pretty important, I think.

@Lemmyoutofhere Also, snowboots. I have lost a few fave pairs that poped out way before their expiry date because of having to trudge through constant salt. I get using *a bit* when it is icy to prevent falls, esp. on slopes or uneven ground, but the sheer amount used rn is ridiculous.
