A lot of different people can have opinions on what is needed in life and what is a want, but that can get out of hand depending on the kind of life someone lives. Someone like me would say what IS needed is shelter, food, water, and warmth/some kind of cooling system. Perhaps a way to communicate with others like a telephone, but just for communication. Humans need what I listed (in my opinion) because it’s what’s necessary for them to survive, at least in a slightly healthy way. To decrease the amount our carbon footprints are, we need to figure out what to get rid of or limit stuff that is wanted and not needed, so we don’t get rid of our necessary things to survive and still decrease our carbon footprint.
