Winter Salt Week Toolkit

This toolkit was developed by the Low Salt, No Salt Minnesota group to help cities, watershed organizations, Minnesota Water Stewards, and others to spread the word about Winter Salt Week. There's also some resources if you'd like to plan your own Winter Salt Week event.

Help promote Winter Salt Week

Plan Your Own Event

The last day of Winter Salt Week (Friday, January 31st) is intended for cities, watershed organizations, Minnesota Water Stewards, and others to host a local event to spread awareness about chloride pollution. This can be as simple as a city council recognizing Winter Salt Week through proclamation.

Or you may opt to host and event where you invite the local media and community members to test the chloride level of a local lake, pond, or stream. Consider giving away chloride testing trips to residents to monitor salt levels in their neighborhood waterbody this winter.

A simple Winter Salt Week event would be to hold a waterbody chloride testing event and invite local media and community members.
