Winter salt prematurely ages roads and bridges and degrades freshwater lakes, streams, and drinking water. Just one teaspoon can permanently pollute five gallons of freshwater. That’s why Root-Pike Watershed Initiative Network is teaming up with organizations across the country to spark real conversations about salt pollution and smarter winter practices. Join us January 26th - 30th for a week of live-streamed chats with experts in ecology, road maintenance, advocacy, and policy. Each day, we’ll dig into how this issue affects your community, and what we can do about it together. This year will include four lunch-time webinars Monday through Thursday, and “Office Hours” on Friday, where you can ask all your burning questions about home-based solutions and how to monitor salt pollution in your community.
