2 sentences2006In United States v. Students Challenging Regulatory Agency Procedures ("SCRAP"), 412 U.S. 669 (1973), for example, the Court used a relaxed standard in granting a student group standing to challenge an order to increase rail freight weights that would impact the environment, when the plaintiffs alleged injury in the form of increased air pollution and increased litter. 2006There the plaintiffs specifically alleged in their complaint that they use "`the forests, rivers, streams, mountains, and other natural resources . . . for camping, hiking, fishing, sightseeing, and other recreational [and] aesthetic purposes' and that these activities will suffer as a result of the increased pollution."
