I'm always amazed that the environmentalists haven't risen up yet on this issue. How can anyone think that dumping millions of tons of road salt on our roads will not have a cumulative effect on lakes, wells and groundwater. It's insanity. Especially when we see them salting roads when it's above freezing. Not to mention the effect on cars and roadside vegetation.

BTW, I'm not really much of an environmentalist, but even I see this as a huge issue, especially if there is no end in sight to this practice.
