Here in Finland they use pebbles not salt for the ice or snow.
In Belgium we use salt if there’s snow to make the streets safer.
But I looked up why they use pebble in Finland and it was pretty interesting.
Pebbles don’t make the snow or ice melt but create more adhesion for shoes and vehicle’s.
Pebble are efficient by every temperature and are not dangerous for the ground and the vegetation.
See you next time for more anecdotes and facts.
