Before you give MADD a call, read the whole post!
Nearby Groveland, MA has begun using a beer by-product mixed with salt to de-ice roads. It quickly turns ice into slush, which can then be easily plowed. Even better, using this product slashes the annual salt budget and is better for the environment. What’s especially interesting is that the beer by-product actually causes the salt shed to smell like beer, so don’t be surprised if the highway smells like a brewery or road to heaven!
