How does art effectively raise awareness about environmental issues? Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this episode: How Jillian uses art to highlight the negative impacts of road salt on lakes at Wisconsin Water Week How Wisconsin Water Week offers an opportunity to appreciate artwork that highlights water-related issues The importance of cautious road salt use to protect our lakes and rivers Hear from Jillian Patterson - a student at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. Jillian talks about her artwork at the Wisconsin Water Week exhibit, focusing on the negative impacts of road salt on lakes. Her crocheted piece depicts a semi-truck with salt buttons creeping onto an expanding ice sheet, symbolizing the effects of road salt on nearby lakes. She also illustrates the increasing tide levels, decreased clarity, lower lake temperatures, declining purity of drinking water, and increased algae on plant life caused by road salt. Jillian hopes her artwork raises awareness and encourages cautious use of road salt. Click play now to soak up what she has to share!

Jennifer Bolger Breceda is the Executive Director of Milwaukee Riverkeeper, a science-based advocacy organization working for swimmable, fishable rivers throughout the Milwaukee River Basin. In this episode we discuss clean water advocacy, environmental law, road salt water monitoring, phosphorus runoff, the adopt-a-river program and more! After 15 years of practicing environmental law at several reputable firms in Milwaukee, including being Shareholder and Co-Chair of a successful and busy environmental legal department, Bolger Breceda decided to change course and leave her private practice to start a new chapter in her career as the Executive Director of Milwaukee Riverkeeper. Over the past 8 years, Bolger Breceda has served as a “chief executive officer,” including chief ambassador, fundraiser, and leader, of this highly-respected science-based environmental advocacy organization. She has grown the Board of Directors from a reporting entity to strategic think-tank, and believes strongly that working collaboratively with local, state, regional and national partners in advancement of mission is critical to its success. During her tenure, Milwaukee Riverkeeper's annual budget and the staff have both doubled, all while meeting financial and organizational goals. For the last 8 years, Jennifer has worked to coordinate and push forward a generational opportunity aimed at removing legacy contamination in Milwaukee area waterways called the Area of Concern. She also led a statewide and regional coalition focused on ensuring that the implementation of the Great Lakes Compact is in keeping with sound management principles, conservation mandates, public engagement, best available science and the spirit and intent of the law. A strategic thinker, she worked tirelessly toward the successful removal of the Estabrook Dam, not only saving taxpayer dollars, but also taking a generational opportunity to improve an important area of the Milwaukee River. Jennifer's expertise in environmental law has brought her before many governmental agencies, to speak on a variety of environmental and water related matters. Jennifer has been active in environmental, charitable and service organizations since before her undergraduate days and has always strived to be an advocate for the environment. She has an avid interest in many different water activities including swimming, kayaking, canoeing, boating, and water skiing. She wants to see Milwaukee thrive and truly become a water centric and healthy community.
Meet The Blind Birder Reimagining Accessibility In The Outdoors For many blind and low vision people, accessing outdoor spaces like parks can be challenging. Trails are often unsafe or difficult to navigate, signs don't usually have Braille, guides generally aren't trained to help disabled visitors, and so on. But nature recordist Juan Pablo Culasso, based in Bogata, Colombia, is changing that. He's designed a system of fully accessible trails in the cloud forests of southwest Colombia that are specifically tailored to help visually disabled people connect with nature. The trails are the first of their kind in the Americas, and Culasso drew on his own experiences as a blind person and a professional birder to design the system. He talks with Maddie Sofia about how he designed the trail system and takes listeners on an adventure through the cloud forest he works in. How Many Glasses Of Water A Day Do You Actually Need? If you follow health or fitness influencers, at some point you've probably heard something about people needing six to eight ounces glasses of water a day to be healthy. The question of the right amount of water needed for health and happiness is still an open one, and varies from person to person. But a recent study in the journal Science looked at just how much water people actually do consume each day. The study didn't just ask people how many sips they had taken. Instead, it tracked the amount of water that flowed through the bodies of over 5,000 people around the world, using labeled isotopes to get data on “water turnover”—how much water was consumed and excreted. The researchers found a large range of water use, driven in part by differences in body size and socioeconomic status. A small, not very active woman might drink less than two liters per day, while a large, very active woman might gulp almost eight liters a day, a four-fold difference. Dr. Dale Schoeller, a professor emeritus in the Department of Nutritional Sciences and the Biotechnology Institute at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, joins SciFri producer Kathleen Davis to talk about the study, the importance of water consumption, and how people can do better at estimating the amount of water they need. Road Salt Is Washing Into The Mississippi River…And It's Not Washing Out This winter has already brought significant snowfall to much of the U.S. Historically, more snow has meant more road salt. It's an effective way to clear roads — but also brings cascading environmental impacts as it washes into rivers and streams. But amid one powerful winter storm that walloped the Midwest in December, employees from the La Crosse County Facilities Department did something a little different. As usual, they clocked into work well before dawn to plow the county's downtown parking lots. They were followed by facilities director Ryan Westphal, who walked each of the lots, checking for slick spots. Finding none, he didn't lay any salt down on top. That's a major departure from how he would have handled the situation a few years ago – before their department made the decision to dramatically cut back on salt use to prevent it from flowing into waters like the nearby Mississippi River, which new data show has been growing saltier for decades. Under the previous protocol, in Westphal's words, his crew would have “salted the crap” out of the lots after a snowfall like this, without giving deference to whether they actually needed it. Today, there's a careful calculation after each time it snows to ensure they're using just the right amount of salt. To read the rest, visit www.sciencefriday.com. In ‘The Terraformers,' Science Fiction Reveals Real-World Challenges In her novel The Terraformers, author Annalee Newitz takes readers thousands of years into the future to a far-away planet that's under construction. It's in the process of being terraformed, or transformed into a more Earth-like world that can support human life. The main character Destry, a ranger for the Environmental Rescue Team, and her partner, Whistle the flying moose, are working on the corporate-owned planet when they encounter an underground society. The Terraformers explores themes of resilience, colonization, conservation, equity, and capitalism through a sci-fi lens as Newitz invites readers to reimagine a new future. Guest host Maddie Sofia talks Newitz about the inspiration behind the book and how real-world problems made their way into sci-fi. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Do we want to be able to travel "safely" on our roadways in winter? Of course! But we know that road salt, while effective to 14 degrees, works, it also has significant impact on our plants and waterways that include affecting our drinking water. Studies continue on alternatives including cheese brine and more. Get more information on today's Garden Bite and my website has several links to other information as I noticed the "numbers" on salt usage don't add up!
Hey, straight up? In this one? Mater dies. And like, he ends up being fine. But Mater does die in this one, and it's so important you know that. The Car Grim Reaper comes down and reaps his Car soul (Kia Soul?). Other stuff happens. I would go so far to say other pretty wild stuff involving Cars body horror. But the one important thing is definitely that Mater dies in this, the third episode of Cars on the Road entitled "Salt Fever".
The Federal government approved N29.083bn for projects in the Ministry of Works and Housing and Mines and Steel Development. The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed says N27.23bn and N1.85bn were approved to rehabilitate the 30km Idoani-Otuo Road and construct a 27km retaining wall for the Ebonyi Salt Lakes, respectively. He explained that the 27km retaining wall would contain the loss of raw salt from the salt lakes in Ebonyi State, saving at least $88m spent yearly on salt importation. Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Olamilekan Adegbite, says it would be funded directly by the Presidency adding that the project would not only save the country millions of dollars in foreign exchange but also bridge the local salt demand gap.
What does road salt have to do with safe drinking water? In this episode, I feature a paper by Kaushal and colleagues who performed a comprehensive analysis of the effects of using salt for de-icing roads and fertilizing farmland on our freshwater supply. They refer to it as the Freshwater Salinization Syndrome, which is becoming one of the most pervasive and systemic water quality problems of this century. Full citation: Kaushal, S. S., Likens, G. E., Pace, M. L., Reimer, J. E., Maas, C. M., Galella, J. G., ... & Woglo, S. A. (2021). Freshwater salinization syndrome: from emerging global problem to managing risks. Biogeochemistry, 154(2), 255-292.
(Mar 16, 2022) Road salt can poison fish and wildlife, but it can also leech into people's wells, corroding pipes and showerheads and making water undrinkable. Also: Police have arrested a man in connection with a shooting in Plattsburgh Tuesday.

This week in a post on Instagram, I wrote:"Accept the valleys as you do the peaks.Accept the ebbs as you do the flows.Your January self, accept her fully. She is a part of the whole of nature. She slows down, as does everything else. The temperature drops. She burrows and insulates. She covers her face so it doesn't get dry. Without her, you'd never love July."I wrote this because I was miserable, getting ready to go out for my morning run in "feels like 3" temperatures.Something I know through years and years of putting in daily work, is that January is a slow, miserable time. We're the furthest away from the sun, we're cold, things are slow. We're slow not only at a social level, but at a molecular level. We want to burrow and remain safe. We want extra layering around us. There isn't a day that I go outside in January that I don't miss having extra body fat. Not a single day.Also, running in January isn't a beautiful bath of Vitamin D like I enjoy, but rather, I'm covered in layers, pissed off, snot rocketing every five minutes. I'm not soaking in the sun's rays. I'm just tasting the ROAD SALT on my lips as it flies through the air. Baby, January is a bitch.I know January is a bitch, but January helps me love July."New Year, New Me" people know January is a bitch, but they're new, so they don't have the glory of July in their memories to get them through the bitchiest times. I get out there and think "I fucking hate this, but it's short-lived."They get out there and go "this is hell. Why would anyone do this" and give up. Because there's no reference point for the newcomers. They don't realize that they picked the worst possible time to go gung-ho, even if the change they desire isn't physical. Then, they don't succeed in whatever-the-hell after a string of days and chalk it up to failure, something Western society told them was a complete no-no and must be AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS. (Please see my blog "Life Isn't Pass/Fail.")January is an awful time to begin anything, and MISERABLE doesn't motivate anyone. (I once thought it did, and I talk about that in my podcast.)The only thing that motivates a person is deep, deep love for themselves. "Do it for my wife," "do it for my kids," or any other of that variety can get a ball rolling, but you'll likely give up. The only thing that helps is touching that part of you that is pure, limitless power and potential. In my podcast today I talk about three things:Giving yourself grace during this month when you didn't make change (and honestly how illogical whatever you picked to do probably was)How limiting beliefs run the show, even when you think it's your conscious mind.What people usually need to get the ball rolling.Give it a listen. Drop me a line. Let me know what you think.I put a podcast out each week to serve my listeners, but mostly, putting a podcast out each week is an example of me putting in the reps.This isn't my greatest episode. It's a bag of hot air. But I show up every week and put a bag of hot air into the void. And someday, someone's algorithm will deliver my bag of hot air to them exactly when they need it. And that bag of hot air will serve them in profound ways. And that's why I do it. Not for the immediate payoff, but because I know somewhere, the ripple will matter.Whatever you're doing right now, don't listen to your brain when it tries to tell you that today's work doesn't matter. It matters. What you do matters, and not just because you started it on January 1. PS: If you have anything you want to talk about, or you're looking for some clarity and good energy during the shit vortex that is January, here's a link to schedule time on my calendar
(Jan 11, 2022) We depend on dry, bare roads to get around safely during the winter. But all that road salt corrodes the environment. One town near Lake George is trying to curb the addiction to road salt. Also: The omicron-driven COVID spike is starting to flatten in New York City, but Gov. Hochul predicts it'll be another couple weeks of soaring COVID-19 cases Upstate.
Jan. 5, 2021 - Phill Sexton, founder of a sustainability advisory firm, discusses his upcoming role on the state's Adirondack Road Salt Reduction Task Force, including the scope of the problem and solutions that could emerge.
A large band of lake effect snow caused all kinds of problems on the roads around Salt Lake County. The free even shut down near the point of the mountain as the road turned to ice. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dr. Monika Bleszynski, Research Scientist and Adjunct Professor at the University of Denver, discusses some of the harmful impacts of road salt along with potential alternatives. There are many negative impacts of the bioaccumulation of salt in environments near roadways, including damage to plant life, physiological drought, and the buildup of salt in our water reservoirs. By studying organisms with evolutionary adaptations to produce their own antifreeze proteins, Bleszynski has worked toward the development of safer alternatives to road salt with less harmful environmental consequences.
After years of being told to keep quiet about her relationship, country singer Brooke Eden is being honest about her partner. She explains how country music is shifting. And, spring rains wash rock salt used to melt snow into rivers and streams, which can destroy freshwater ecosystems. WBUR's Jesse Remedios reports on why this problem has no simple fix.
Most road salt washes into rivers and streams, where it can harm freshwater ecosystems. Towns like Cambridge are trying brine as an alternative to rock salt.
It's all about the salt. Last week Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill that calls for a “salt reduction task force” to analyze the state's aggressive practices of salting roads. The study comes in response to new data that links road salting to troubling rises in sodium and chloride in Adirondack Park water wells. Believe it or not, though, road salt is oddly political. The task force will measure salt contamination in drinking water and estimate the cost of property damage due to salt-induced corrosion. Anecdotal evidence of road salt contamination have surfaced around New York State. Earlier this year, a Court of Claims in Rochester heard arguments from a couple in Phelps that alleged that road salt from the New York State Thruway, which abuts their farm, had contributed to the deaths of 88 cows over four years. “They salt the Thruway — I mean heavy,” said John Frederick, who said he was forced to switch to piped-in water. “Sometimes when you look out there in a windstorm it looks like a white cloud of dust.” READ: What impact does salting roads have on the environment? That said, salt is a major business in Upstate New York and the Finger Lakes region. The news that New York would study the effects of road salt on the environment came within days of a mine collapse at a Cargill facility. Now, there are new calls for Cargill to cease mining under Cayuga Lake. Cargill employs 200 people in Lansing, and for its own stake is one of the two largest, privately held companies in the U.S. READ: Cargill mine collapse in Louisiana sparks new concerns about unsafe Cayuga Lake mines Today a conversation with Peter Mantius, of The Water Front Online, which focuses on environmental reporting in Upstate New York.
Dec. 11, 2020 - Sen. Tim Kennedy (D-Buffalo), chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, gave us the latest on legislation concerning road salt use in the North Country.
(Dec 4, 2020) Starting next winter, road crews will try to use less road salt in the Adirondacks, in an effort to reduce damage to plants and wildlife. Also: Rep. Elise Stefanik continues to back President Trump's baseless legal challenges to the election.
(Nov 20, 2020) Road salt allows us to travel faster in the winter and saves lives. But it causes serious damage to the ecosystem, especially in the Adirondacks. An effort is underway to find alternatives. Also: A third Franklin County resident died from COVID-19.

The more variable weather that comes with a warming climate increases that likelihood of winter freeze/thaw events and the risk that melting snow and rain on roads will turn into ice. To keep people safe in these changing conditions, municipalities, public and private contractors and individual property owners are going to be tempted to use more salt on driving and walking surfaces. But is road salt the best way to keep us safe on slippery surfaces? What are the environmental impacts associated with the use of road salt and are there things we can do to minimize or eliminate those impacts?To look at these and related questions about ther impact of road salt on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, we’re joined by Dr. Norman Yan, an aquatic biologist, retired professor from York University and Dorest Environmental Science Centre and current Chair of the Friends of the Muskoka Watershed.Show Notes: https://canoefm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Background-Resource-List-Planet-Haliburton-November-26-2018.pdf
