"Every winter, de-icing salts — sodium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride — battle icy roads nationwide. The effort is epic in scope: Hundreds of millions of gallons of salty substances are sprayed on roads and billions of pounds of rock salt are spread on their surfaces each year. That may lead to safer roads, but it has a real effect on the planet. In a review in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a group of environmental scientists looked at the hazards of salts that make driving safer.De-icing salts end up in bodies of fresh water, contaminating lakes and streams and building up in wetlands. The Environmental Protection Agency’s thresholds are not high enough to protect life in freshwater, the scientists write, and “there is also an urgent need to understand how freshwater organisms respond to novel chemical cocktails generated from road salt salinization.”Then there’s drinking water."

"2021 - What a wild ride!
From thousands of bottles of cold brew and cups of coffee to countless homes that start their day with Doglio, you’ve blown our minds the past 10 months and empowered us to do bigger and better things in 2022.Our Doglio tribe has expanded tenfold with the pop-up opportunity granted to us by @townoffranklinma. The Franklin community showed up and welcomed us in a way we couldn’t have imagined. Although we won’t be taking the brick and mortar step next we are working on some pretty awesome things that will give everyone more ways to enjoy Doglio.And remember, you can always order Doglio for local delivery or ship some to a friend.Now, time for us to get brewing!"
