Wants or Needs?

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?

Mihai-26

Climate change is a dire consequence of human behavior that demands immediate attention. It is high time we recognize the impact of our wants and needs on the environment. We must acknowledge that our consumption patterns play a significant role in contributing to the problem. By prioritizing our needs over our wants, we can reduce our carbon footprint and minimize the damage caused to our planet. It is our responsibility to make conscious choices that benefit the environment and secure a sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come.

I think you need to balance the number of things you want.

I strongly agree with user Mihai-26 and how important it is to know your needs and wants and how you can put aside your wants. We as human beings need to be conscious about the consumption of our wants and to know when it comes to buying unnecessary items. The manufacture of these wants is a huge problem in today's society. This is why we to start giving this topic more attention and changing up our lifestyles.

I agree with Mihai-26 when they say prioritizing needs over wants will reduce carbon footprint. It is a well-known fact that even if you get something delivered, you still contribute to the CO2 that was emitted when it was made and shipped to you, those emissions are called indirect emissions. The more stuff we buy, the more indirect emissions are produced, if we simply buy less of what we want and instead prioritize what we need, we can cut down our indirect emissions and carbon footprint. This may not seem like much of an incentive to buy fewer things you want but if everybody does their part, it will add up and make a positive, lasting change on the earth. https://www.sciencejournalforkids.org/w … rticle.pdf

I completely agree with Mihai-26 and how important it is to realize how much humans have impacted the environment. I think Mihai talking about prioritizing needs over wants is extremely important. If humans only use 1 pair of shoes, passed down clothing from siblings, carpool, bike, and turn off lights we could contribute to trying to stop global warming. Humans need to start taking action as soon as they can because global warming is having extreme spikes in Co2. Some evidence of this is in the website the Keeling curve, they show a graph that shows a spike in Co2 emissions in
