Salt or Ice Melter?

Well, I switched to ice melter instead of salt this year.
It's a lot more expensive but I guess it's better for the environment.
When you use salt, it runs off into rivers and lakes causing salt contamination.
It can also affect farmers' fields, well systems and your ordinary lawn and garden.
Another problem using salt is the deterioration of concrete and asphalt used in your foundation and driveway. If you can afford to switch I hope you do.
