Yep. You've got to consider the downstream (no pun intended)
consequences.

Just last year, Seattle finally got with the program and quit using
salt on its icy roadways after someone pointed out that the salt
would pass through the storm sewer system into Pugent Sound.


What? They thought they were changing the salinity of the Pacific
ocean?
I would be a lot more worried about the oil that runs off the roads.


Harrumph!

In the great crusade to save the planet, avoiding road salt being dumped in
the Pacific is roughly the same magnitude as erecting wind turbines.

It's for the children.
