Going Green (or is it red) on the frozen streets? You bet!

I am fortunate to be doing my civil duty as a court juror.  As I was leaving the courthouse today, a county employe and I commented on the fact there must be something other than salt to help with icy sidewalks. Voilla! Tonight, one of our local news stations reported that the DC government will be using beet juice to help with winter street conditions. Excellent!

I believe this is one more confirmation that there is/might always be a means of problem-solving using non-environment-harming products.  We can make our lives better without harming our environment - not to mention harming our good shoes! Cudos to the person or persons who thought deeply enough and/or cared enough to come up with this wonderful option! And if we are lucky, perhaps it will be available some day soon for us to use on our homes' driveways and walks!  Thoughts?

Enjoy the snow!

Ken- on a local news station here in Massachusetts, they did a segment on one town is using some sort of sugars and molasses mix with salt which works extremely well and is much better for environment.  I wonder how beet juice works compared to molasses?

I asked myself why isn't the other 300+ towns and other northern states using something more environmentally friendly??
