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?

climate change is caused by many global issues, but humans are the main problem as we do not appreciate the earth when we use items that harm it. even though these materials are more convenient, they are destroying the earth as we continue to live today. One example is cars. cars use fossil fuels to operate, and these gases rise into the air and pollute the atmosphere. although cars are one of the best options to get around places, there are other ways of transportation that do not harm the earth, such as walking, biking, electric vehicles or even public transportation and carpooling so more people can get around using less gas. A car is a want because there are other options that people can use to transport. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/201 … 713722001/ and https://www.unep.org/news-and-stories/s … ate-change

In the United States, cars bring a lot of change. These include adjustments to business, technology, and daily living.Cars need more restrictions but they should not be removed. Cars increased people's access to jobs, services, and personal independence.

Cars definitely support a lot of people in their day to day lives, so I don't think we should completely eliminate them, but people should definitely try to use busses and public transportation as much as possible if able. Corporations like Tesla should also make electric cars more accessible to everyone, so we can help support the use of electric cars versus gas powered cars.

Yes, cars can be an issue but they also help individuals on a daily basis. Rather than taking them away completely, how about encouraging people to carpool or provide individuals with a safe form of transportation? Getting rid of cars would make getting to work difficult and that would cause a downfall in the daily lives of individuals.

America is muscle-made, nobody is giving up their v6 Mustang. Honestly, if you have a v6 though it should be banned. Electric cars are a better alternative but the only company right now is Tesla and the cars are not cheap at all. There is a way to power cars through water but the government would stop that from happening, they already have.

Most people can't really afford other options than cars to get to work though. If you live outside a big city or even the suburbs there is no train or bus to transport you where you need to go plus people have to worry about getting to work on time too. So unless electric cars become more affordable and convenient or some other form of transformation is developed most people are going to be driving cars.
