The BIG idea is reducing our use of the world's materials so that we don't run out and neither do our children or grandchildren.
There is actually a double saving for the environment when you use 'Scrapstore' materials because you not only save those materials from filling up a landfill site, but those materials are also replacing new, usually over packaged materials which you would have consumed otherwise.
The materials are re-used by over 90,000 children and young people through our network of member groups (over 1000).
Scrapstores represent a double saving for the environment.
When a group takes material from the Centre they are taking something which has been saved from the waste stream (saving 1) and their use of that material displaces their purchasing of new (and probably over packaged) material (saving 2).

By understanding the features of each age, you can understand and benefit from the interplay among small groups, hierarchies, bureaucracies, and networks.
It's important because you have to live and work in all these forms simultaneously.
First, in chapter 2, "From Nomads to Networks," you learn about the interplay through a familiar example that contains all forms of organization---the local fire department.
In the Age of the Network, we still will have hierarchies and bureaucracies, just as we will continue to have farms and factories.
