Cleaner and Greener salts are being used to keep Canadian Roads ice free – learn more
Canadian municipalities are using greener alternative to traditional salts – learn more
There are also some things you can do at home to make an impact:
● Use the right amount. You only need a pill bottle size amount of salt for every square metre of sidewalk or walkway. Thoroughly shovel first, and consider clearing a smaller walkway to reduce your impact.
● Colder than -10? Consider an alternative. When it’s really cold, salt isn’t effective. If the temperature is too cold for salt, look into alternatives like sand.

New Space suit is modelled by engineer Kristine Davis – artemis generation
Nasa announced the new 2019 spacesuit. The new suit has improved mobility for astronauts working in space.
“The Nasa spacesuit engineers Kristine Davis and Dustin Gohmert demonstrate new spacesuits designed to fit a more diverse crew after plans for the first all-female spacewalk had to be scrapped this year because there were not enough medium-size spacesuits. The next-generation suits, the xEMU, and the Orion crew survival system, were made for the Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and next man on the moon by 2024″
