"We are a throwaway society, making, buying, and tossing out cheap, crappy stuff. Our landfills are loaded with stuff, which had we only made and bought higher-quality stuff, wouldn't exist. We have been led astray, humans. Luckily, there are still organizations dedicated to minimizing waste and artistic value, like the good folks over at Build it Green (BIG!) NYC" - created by http://www.theresident.net
