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? >
We don't always need what we want.
It's common knowledge that humans are selfish. We use our money for useless and irrelevant items, that we will no longer want in a few years. There are people who do not have access to anything and yet are still extremely grateful for all they have. I have noticed that the more someone is given the more they want. So when we go to buy something, we must truly consider whether that purchase is a want or a need. Will it still be useful in a couple years, will we still be interested in it in the future, will there be a time where we want to throw it away? Truly consider these things and then buy what you need. People buying things they want and not need, always ends up harming our ecosystem. That item will end up in the ocean, beaches, public areas, etc.
