Tip #2: Prepare for Snow

Instead of powering up a snowblower or throwing out your back with a shovel, consider buying a wheeled snow shovel, which acts as a lever and lets you lift and toss with minimal effort. You can also get an eco-friendly deicer that contains calcium magnesium acetate (CMA). Forget road salt, which may harm roadside plants and aquatic life.
