Ah, yes. But then I didn't imply that hand warmers were the only solution.

Cinder is not damaging and basalt rock can be swept up and re-used. If you'd ever seen (and recognized) the tree damage from salt in a area of the country (the entire west) already under assault from the pine beetle, you may not find it so funny. We're doing a damn fine job of killing off our forests.
