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?

What You Want vs What You Need
A major interference to the rapidly increasing CO² levels in our atmosphere is that we can't choose between our wants and needs. I have questioned multiple people, and some said things like, "I NEED my phone" and "my PlayStation is necessary," which is just not true. Learning to separate your wants and needs is great, as for example, having a healthy meal 2 or 3 times a day is a NEED, as getting that new video game that just came out is a WANT. Learning to choose between wants and needs is a very important skill that everyone should learn, and it would also help preserve our planet for the thousands of years to come.
