“Jane Danowitz, U.S. public lands director for the Pew Environment Group, said national forests are the source of drinking water for one in three Americans”
In the interest of, ahem, science...I would love to see this statement proven.
Being an environmentalist means that you get to make stuff up and never have to prove any of it.
Your query made me curious about this Jane Danowitz, Science Expert. Her Pew “Expert Profile” is here: http://www.pewtrusts.org/experts_profile.aspx?id=56702
Not surprisingly, she’s a lawyer with a BA in history, not a scientist. Also not surprisingly, she is, as they say around here, “guilty”. View at your own risk.
