I think we don´t need all this stuff, most of the people are just addicted to buy everything new like iphone and samsung cell phone´s just because there is a new model coming out. The environmental impact of all these electronic device are very big because most of the people don´t recycle these things. I don´t think i am addicted to the latest technology i use my cell phone and other device until they brake down.

This is all but too true. How often can you see a person walk down the street without some electronic device in their hands. The fact that what we all use and use too often these items does effect the climate change. We charge those and that creates Carbon dioxide emissions that just adds to the change in the Ocean pH level as well as Global Warming.
Does it hurt so much to put down the phone and take a walk, maybe clean the environment? It is not that much of a change to enjoy time with out all the energy consuming.

Let's be honest... Do you really think the whole population is going to put down their electronics to benefit the pH levels in the ocean?

I get your point but there is no possible way to make the whole population put down their devices.

I agree with Jordan, I think that although the best picture is to have everyone stop buying and using electronic devices, but in reality this would be a very hard task to complete. I think a solution might be to make the recycling options more available for people. Like Lilja said, most people don't recycle these things because they don't know where or how the recycling options work.

I was not meaning that, but is it not impossible for a brake?

To be honest no one hangs out with friends anymore I mean with phones who needs to. No one writes letters anymore either

True but there has to be a way to lessen cell phone and electronic use

Yes this is very true. People mostly get the newest electronics to show there friends and socialize about it, but some people, very few use the newest and greats electronics for medical help or easier ways to help out with there job. Most of the old phones that you had are just left in a draw and never touched again. Other people turn in there phones for money or reuse the parts. But most of the population will never be able to put down any electronic because they are addicted.

I think putting down our electronically activated devices is a good idea. Although people are very savy with social media.  [Save-the-Earth-3-save-the-world-28499161-400-311](//res.cloudinary.com/moot/image/upload/t_d3-gallery-s1/v1412804884/:footprint:DFvR:savetheearth3savetheworld28499161400311.jpg.jpg)

@Charlotte S: Exactly. But people have tried to educate others on recycling but frankly I don't think most people care.

No and that's the problem

The main point is that people don't like change.

People need to I mean looking at placesjust anywhere I go you barely see the sky which is rediculous and cyber bullying isn't exactly on the low either

Well cyber bullying is a totally different problem that is trying to be tamed by professional help.

Yes but it wasn't a problem before thins like cell phones I mean come on

yes summer all the social media does not help either with cyber bullying.

Social media is something that occupies many teenagers. I am not going to lie, but I as well like to browse Youtube videos, browse instagram. Although this is the case, I somewhat agree with you. I think there would be amazing if we had a day where technology was suspended for a day thay would be a huge impact.

I agree with manny, many doctors and scientists are helping make the world a better place by using these devices but i do think people are way too absorbed in getting the new devices coming out every year and not focused on the world around them enough.

Which is my point. Great we have ways of communicating but look at how many things happen thanks to it. And yes people are addicted and the fact that no one can really stop it sucks. I mean what was wrong with letters and paper and pen?

as much as i would like electronics to have more effective use and be safer with the environment. People will go with the one that works the best. Example: if you run a restaurant and you make the food tasty people will go there regardless its healthy or not, you see its more of what people are interested about that what it does for the environment.  [Sdasdadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsa](//res.cloudinary.com/moot/image/upload/t_d3-gallery-s3/v1412805208/:footprint:oU6y:sdasdadsadsadsadsadsadsadsadsa.jpg.jpg)

You can't just put an end to Social media, if you are going to have social media, then you are are at risk of being cyber bullied. But people are capable of making a change and making cyber bullying slow down and come to an end.

As I was saying, saving the earth is very key to human survival

Yes but paper pen and real books are just as good as the newest iPhone. What I meant was that people use electronics which hurts the environment and can hurt peopld
