Wants or Needs

As I’m doing more research on our carbon footprints, I’m noticing and understanding that the difference between feeding our wants vs. our needs is very important. Most humans have a WANT to get whatever is “trendy” or “stylish” at the moment, so it is a repeating occasion where people are constantly spending their money on unnecessary items that could be thrown away in very little time. This could cause people to forget what they actually NEED. It is important to focus our purchases on items we need because this will not only help reduce the amount of money we spend, but it will help our planet by reducing the waste too.
