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?
Wants or Needs? >
Do You Want It or Need It?
Wants are things that you can do without, but you want it for pleasure or amusement. For example, a want would be new phone cases or dinners out. Although you may want it a lot, you don't necessarily need it. Needs are things that you can't do without. An example of a few needs are food, shelter, and water. We need them for life, so they wouldn't just be considered a want.
So what is the conclusion?

I agree with you gemma 100% about needs and wants good job on your analysis on this topic. But like Hailey said in the previous comment what is your conclusion on this topic. I think technology is a want. What do you guys think?
My conclusion is that next time you go to the store or buy something, make sure you remember the way it will affect the environment and your carbon footprint. If it is technology, you probably don't need it, but if it is a resource that you need for life like food or water, then get it.
I agree! In this generation, we buy lots of stuff that is just a want like technology or foods with no nutrition. By everyone doing this our carbon footprint is skyrocketing and by being more careful with our decisions on what we actually need with decrease our carbon footprint.
I agree, wanting and needing things are totally different. Wanting something like a phone, increases carbon footprints. But when something is needed, the people actually need it to survive, for example water and food.
I agree with you completely about the difference between wanting and needing things. People should make sure that they need things before they just buy it and they should be as resourceful as possible, and if they want something they should hold back because if they do it can decrease our carbon footprint.
