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? >
Do u really need it?
In my opinion, many people have to start to understand the difference between need and want.
Many times it happens to buy some things that we don't really need, but we buy them just for the sake of having them, this in my opinion is a big waste
I agree with this. When buying clothes sometimes I realize that I’m doing just fine with the amount of clothes I have, and I have no need for more. At the same time, I think of other people who buy new clothing much more often than me, so I think that as long as my footprint is less than theirs, I’ll be all good.
I agree with both of you, yes people have to understand the difference between want and need. Because needing something is when you see for example an item and you like it you will buy it for fun but when you need something you will buy it because you will use it everytime for something;
I reuse the clothes example, if you have enough clothes why do you want to buy new? It's the same thing for shoes, if your shoes are not damaged why buying new ones ? This is overconsummation and we need to stop it. This is a big waste.
Hello ! I also think that all of you are right , because people do need to understand the difference between what they want and need . Needing and wanting are two different things like when you see this item at the store , that you think that you really want and then you think that you must need it to use it , but you don't think that you will maybe use it one time then you would want to get rid of it . People should maybe think before they buy something and what will they do with this specifique item in the futur .
