Saltwater corrodes firefighting equipment and may harm ecosystems, especially those like the chaparral shrublands around Los Angeles that aren’t normally exposed to seawater. Gardeners know that small amounts of salt – added, say, as fertilizer – does not harm plants, but excessive salts can stress and kill plants.
I wonder what happens to the salt we put on roads during the winter?
Kills amphibians, fish, plants and the frame of my truck. People need to learn to drive or stay home.
