    Salt is used on a daily basis for a number of reasons, such as cooking, water treatment and de-icing roads.[1] In Canada, salt is heavily relied on when it comes to snow removal. But, the truth is, while salt does help people during the winter, it causes the rest of the environment to suffer. Because of this, I strongly feel that salt should NOT be used on our roads. Salt harms animals, affects aquatic ecosystems negatively, causes pollution, contaminates greenery by the road, and damages cars and roads.…

    According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary (2015), the secondary definition of ‘blinders’ is, “Something that serves to obscure clear perception and discernment.” From youth through to maturity, our perception blinders are defined by environment and experiences - they focus our vision—just like their primary function on a horse. It is through these lenses that we see, process, discriminate with, and, in turn, form the basis of our decisions. They are filters we use to process information and which become, to a certain extent, set with age.…
