These processes have a huge impact on the environment, and it's hard for us as individuals to steer clear from the consumer culture when things have become so accessible. The good news is that groups are stepping up to bring this issue to light and support individuals in taking action. One of these groups is the Scrounger's Center for Reusable Art Parts, or SCRAP.
