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?

Reusing
How many times do we find spam mail in our mailboxes and old electronics laying around and decide just to throw them out in the trash? This produces so much CO2. And it honestly does not help anyone. People do this to simply get something out of their way. But getting these things out of the way can get in the way of the next generations to come. http://www.yourenew.com/ provides ways that you can get rid of your old electronics. Plus, how cool is it that you can sell some of your items? Another helpful website is http://www.41pounds.org/ to stop the amount of unwanted mail you receive. Do you really need that magazine or those weekly ads? Contact the website and they can make sure to get you off of the mailing lists. I signed up for it and I am really excited to see what difference it is going to make. Also, it's going to be so much easier to sort through the mail. Unimportant items can save me a walk to the trashcan.
