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?

Natural Light
Natural light is a great way to save energy. By using natural light during the day instead of using light bulbs, we save a lot of energy and make our carbon footprint smaller. Natural light also has a positive effect on the brain and can make it easier to do work. I found this website that talks about natural light on the brain: http://www.fitbrains.com/blog/natural-l … nd-health/ . I think we could also use natural light at school, not just at home. If we use natural light in school, we will be more motivated to do our work, and we will be saving energy. Of course, we will need light to see when the sun goes down, but during that time we could instead use LED lights. LED lights require less energy than incandescent lights. http://www.elementalled.com/academy/faq … t-and-led/ is a website I found that explains the differences. I think using natural light is a great way to lessen your carbon footprint.
Hi Anna! I think that your idea is great, we can use natural light in so many places like schools, houses, hospitals, etc. I support your idea, because if we make these real there would be a lot of changes for our community's, and environment. But we need to act now.
I totally agree with you Anna, using natural light is better that using light from bulbs. There is no need to have light on when there is sunlight or natural light, natural light provides enough light for us to keep doing our daily activities. Having the lights on during the day is a want, because there is no need to have them on when there is natural light.
