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?

Is it really a need or just a want?
I think that in a way, having the latest technology is both a want and a need. The last time I got a new electronic was when I got my iPhone 5s two years ago. At the time, it had already been out for a year or so and it wasn't considered the latest technology but I didn't see a need to want something any better. I don't think it's necessary to get the newest model of something unless there's such a drastic change that getting the new model would change your entire life. I probably don't consider the environment as much as I should whenever I purchase new technology. I wouldn't consider myself addicted to my technology because I could go without my phone, it would just be an inconvenience.
I agree!
I feel like when we are able to drive, we should get hybrid cars. They do not give off as much pollution and require a lot less gas.
Yes, used clothes is a good option, I totally agree.
Yes, limiting how long you shower would make a difference.
