Winter Salt Week is a collaboration of governmental and non-governmental organizations across the United States and Canada with the goal of raising awareness around salt pollution and reduction solutions. It is an opportunity to remind the community about the overuse of sidewalk salt meant to melt ice and snow. Unfortunately, it causes chloride pollution in area lakes and rivers and permanently damages fresh water and their ecosystems.
Visit www.wintersaltweek.org to get a rundown of the daily webinars including Minnesota speakers providing public works perspectives and presenting on the policy solutions panel. The event is open to everyone and
includes a series of 4 webinars during the lunch hour on the 27th-30th. Easy to attend on Zoom and then Friday is an action day during.
