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 is “What percentage of meat in the U.S. comes from family farms?”

 

This week’s expert is Laurie Thorp, director of the Residential Initiative on the Study of the Environment (RISE) at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich.

RISE provides students interested in environmental studies a chance to work on community projects that promote sustainability.
