Is having the latest technology a want or a need?
How often do you get a new cel phone or mp3 player? Did you really need a new model? Do you consider the environmental impact of these purchases? If you are addicted, how can you break your addiction?
Wants or Needs? >
The difference between a want and a need
People all around use money for irrelevant things. For example, some kids want a new phone or laptop even though they don't need it and some people might actually need it but can't afford it. I think we should be more considerate and recognize a want and a need, just because we want something we need to really consider if we will be using it in a couple of years or even needing it.
This is a great point! I completely agree with you! I believe kids grew up with the mindset that they can get whatever they want and not suffer any consequences, the earth later on has to suffer it for them. This is extremely inconsiderate, you explained this very well!
I agree with this! Many people raise their children with whatever they want, they are their children, but the harm it does to the planet is essential. Children should learn the right ways of throwing away waste.
Good point! Many children grow up to believe that they can get whatever they want when they want it. This isn’t a good mindset because it can eventually cause harm and damage to the planet. It is important to learn and recognize the difference between a want and a need and what effects it can cause.
I agree! I think if we can sort the difference between wants and needs we can figure out what will be best for us and the planet. I also agree that raising and teaching children the difference between the two will make a huge impact. If we can sort through and make decisions based off of that thinking, will better the environment and ourselves in the long run.
