Ice pressure cracked my friend's patio slab just like that.

Saw a piece about a barber shop using these strips made from recycled paper that break down way faster. They looked just like the normal ones but without the plastic feeling. Seems like such a simple fix if the big companies would just make the switch. Honestly makes you wonder why aren't more places trying this? The whole point of that single use stuff is supposed to be clean, not to leave a mess for the next hundred years.
