Wanting the latest technology is a need. Personally, it's not often that I get the new phone that apple comes out with every year or so. I would like to get it ,but I know it's just a want and it's not a necessity. When I got my first iphone, I didn’t consider the impact that i'll have on the earth’s environment. But learning about carbon footprints  in my biology class, has made me consider how much carbon were releasing out into the atmosphere, and how much harm that impacted the earth ( climate change).In order to reduce the use of carbon footprint, I should began  to think about the outcomes of my needs and wants.
