Every Monday Great Lakes Echo runs video clips of random people answering questions that experts believe environmentally literate citizens should understand. In the last clip an expert explains the correct answers.
This week’s question: “What percent of the world’s water is drinkable?”
This week’s expert is Joan B. Rose, the Homer Nowlin Chair in Water Research, co-director of the Center for Advancing Microbial Risk Assessment and the director of the Center for Water Sciences — all at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich.

Street smarts! Keep it up and you could make your own version of the popular game show. MSU smarts. hah But in all honesty, great question. It’s nothing cryptic that humans shouldn’t know, yet no one questions where a lot of what they do/eat/drink comes from.
GREAT story of revealing information. This is what I want to hear!

Thanks Joe. This will be a regular feature on Echo every Monday.
Gee, I didn’t know that!
What an interesting way to treat this. It put ME on the spot as I watched people trying to guess the answer — and then I learned the truth. Now I know and will remember.
Do some more!
