Hi, Every year hundreds of people injure their backs, or worse, by shoveling snow. Maybe :
# Always shovel lighter loads of snow, not a heavily packed shovel.
# Don’t shovel soon after you wake up. A slipped disc injury is much more likely to occur in the morning due to the build-up of fluid in the disc from lying down all night.
# Take breaks often.
# Elderly should consider calling on a neighborhood youth or a professional to shovel their walks or if getting around isn’t a problem, buy a snowblower. These machines do all the work for you while all you have to do is push them.Use a snowblower for heavy, wet snow ~

Giving in and needing to be plowed out is one thing, but I was very surprised you would ask to have salt or something else put down. Here in the northeast (upstate NY) most folks don’t worry about that for their driveway. Maybe on a sidewalk you use something, and may businesses do – probably fear of getting sued if someone falls. But overall I think the best way to go for a driveway is nothing at all.

The point raised in this post is quite obvious because if we are not careful about the different chemicals used during cleaning, then it might harm us and our environment. We should be more conscious especially if there are small children or pets in the house. So I prefer to entrust the responsibility on a reputed company.

Hand-shoveling will equate zero energy not going from gas to electric.

Dan says he sold his “2 stage snow blower two years ago as part of my plan to create a net zero energy house.” Wow! You save gas energy and then create electric energy? Zero energy in this case will be hand-shoveling.

I sold my 2 stage snow blower two years ago as part of my plan to create a net zero energy house. I use an electric snow shovel (Black and Decker for $99) for big snows which is much easier to maneuver and doesn’t pollute like my snowblower. I use a snow shovel for most snows. I never use salt or any chemical.
