Dog Owners Being Warned of Road Salt Toxicity

Uploaded by: uploads13
Video Description:
Mark Watson, a resident of Ottawa, Canada, has been warning dog owners about the dangers of road salt ever since he lost his young dog Grover to cancer in 2004.
Sadly, at around the same time, two other dogs in his neighbourhood had also died of cancer so it lead him to research the probable common cause.
Watson's veterinarian suggested that the toxicity of road salt was likely to blame because the dogs would often take walks outside, walking on road salt. Upon returning home, they would ingest this toxic product by licking their paws.
Indeed, in 2001, road salt was labeled "toxic" in an extensive joint report by Environment Canada and Health Canada. It was deemed a necessary evil to ensure winter road safety. See: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/contaminants/psl2-lsp2/road_salt_sels_voirie/index_e.html
In early 2006, the Sierra Legal Defense Fund and RiverSides Stewardship Alliance initiated a campaign to legislate the reduction of road salts use in Ontario since it has been declared "toxic." For more information: http://www.riversides.org/index.php?cat=3 &page1=8&page2=10
Watson's crusade to find a safe and effective alternative to toxic road salt disappointed him. At first, he found no high traction product in North America's marketplace that was 100% safe.
Further research around the world led him to discover a green volcanic-based mineral that has amazing traction properties and is 100% safe for animal life and the environment.
At this point, Watson decided to transform the tragic events surrounding the loss of his beloved dog by creating a new product that would be 100% safe for all pets: EcoTraction.
In this video, he explains that EcoTraction is an environmentally sound high traction agent that is not only safe for pets, property, driveways, roads, lawns but it even helps to absorb toxins from the environment.
He says that in the spring and summer, EcoTraction acts as a nutrient for our lawns and gardens instead of destroying vegetation like road salt does.
He also discovered that the mineral constituting EcoTraction is used by some municipalities to purify water, by organic farmers as a safe food additive for cattle and chicken, and as an organic soil amendment.
On the video, Watson demonstrates the fact that plants grow in pots filled only with EcoTraction and no soil.
Home Depot is retailing EcoTraction across Canada. For more information, visit: http://www.ecotraction.com
