You're not gonna see, gonna see this heart break
You huff, and you puff, but I'm not blown away
When are you gonna get it, I'm so unaffected"

"Truth: it lives in a distant land of snow and ice and burning sand"

This page focuses on all aspects of seasonal and intentional cooling, such as refrigeration, as well as intentional removal of cold air and stages of freezing water, and what better choices we can make regarding chemical usage killing all animals, including human beings.
[For choices regarding how to cool and heat buildings, including houses, seek, "Geothermal" for all "Thermal" energies in the "Energies" section.]

"The spreading of a ton of salt per mile of freeway whenever icing conditions exist is found to exacerbate this problem. The hydrocarbon and lead residues associated with water rub-off have not even been evaluated."

Baltimore City Snow Center

There is no information on "Baltimore City Snow Center," even via videos, disclosing as to what product(s) - and its ingredients - chemicals Baltimore City is choosing to purchase. Salt spread on streets and even being giving out to public to hand handle through boxes, creates dissolvent pollution due to impurities (filler ingredients) dangerous health harm. Water drain into our drinking water system, and out to creeks, rivers, and Chesapeake Bay. There are no health warnings, especially for all wild and tamed (pets) animals, including human beings.

Salt corrodes automobiles, especially their bottoms and doors. Salt is bad all around, as not only it makes water salty, the bonds that salt makes with other chemicals from PAHS and PFAS families are detrimental, making animals slowly suffer with illnesses, and only future is death. Salt does not even work to melt at and below 10 Degrees Fahrenheit. Salt and other chemicals deteriorates tires, evidenced well by causing snow and ice to become black. Intentionally putting its citizens and residents due to salt and other chemicals is more than neglectful, but sets up for many lawsuits. It is also a violation of the Peace Resolution, passed unanimously on April 3rd, 2001, which states;

"A city that does not use or promote anyone or product hurting any of its citizens, chooses to concentrate its energy on mentoring, works with the vision that opportunity and prosperity is indeed unlimited for all, integrates efficient land allocation and conservation"

GEOTHERMAL IS THE ANSWER:

Spiral, Horizontal Line Spinning

Geothermal has the capacity to heat sidewalks, bridges, and streets... along with heating our homes and all other buildings in the winter, and cool sidewalks, bridges, tunnels, and streets... along with cooling our homes and all other buildings in the summer. One reliable system that does not depend on electricity. No more chemicals. No more plows. No more power losses. No more well-meaning people using their ovens, space heaters, and candles to be warm, and start fires.

"Pavement snow melting using geothermal hot water and steam has been demonstrated in several countries, including Argentina, Japan and the United States. These installations include sidewalks, roadways, bridges and runways."

"Your walk or driveway may not cause much harm individually, but think about all the deicing compounds applied throughout the area. All that runoff adds up to large amounts of salt and nutrients entering local waterways.

Freshwater ponds, lakes, streams and rivers are especially vulnerable. Salt is often toxic to animals living in fresh water and can also harm plants in your yard and along the roads.

Deicers come in serveral forms. Consider the best choice:

☸ Rock salt (sodium chloride) is the most commonly used but contains cyanide, as an anti-caking agent that can be toxic to underwater life, and is the most harmful for plants.
☸ Calcium chloride is considered a better choice than rock salt, because it does not contain cyanide, however, it can also harm plants. Calcium chloride costs about three times more than rock salt, but you only need to use about one-third as much.
☸ Magnesium chloride is considered the least toxic deicing salt because it contains less chloride than either rock salt or calcium chloride, making it safer for plants and animals.
Calcium Magnesium Acetate (CMA) is considered the best overall choice for safely melting ice. It is less toxic than deicers containing chloride, but can cost considerably more than rock salt.

☸ ☸ ☸ ☸ Never use fertilizer as a deicer. Nutrients in fertilizer and urea-containing deicers can run off your property, polluting local waterways."

Italians call salt, "Cancer" because it eats away at mosaic tiles, cobblestones, building foundations, pylons, and piers. Just like Baltimore.
