640 million acres of your public land are being called "unused" and "garden-variety" so politicians can sell them off. Every word is a lie.

That land runs the longest mule deer migration on Earth, the largest contiguous ecosystem in the lower 48, and the headwaters of the Columbia, Missouri, and Colorado rivers.

Forested federal land filters drinking water for 180 million Americans. The Forest Service alone values that water at $8.35 billion a year. New York City avoided $10 billion in filtration costs by protecting its watershed.

The outdoor recreation economy generates $1.3 trillion a year. $350 million of it comes from federal lands every single day.

When a politician calls public land "unused," they're describing the lobbies they work for, not the land.

The framing only works in the dark. Read the full breakdown and share this post.
