I get a new cell phone about every 2- 2.5 years. The want to having a new cell phone or the latest technology is a large impact on earth. There are large factories constantly manufacturing these products which is causing a great amount of pollution. The factories burn a lot of fossil fuels to keep machines powered and they also emit toxic gasses back out. Not to mention having to ship these products by plane, ship, and truck adds more to societies carbon footprint. I'm not neccisalry addicted to buying new products but in general I think people can revulate wether having the latest and greatest is worth it

I totally agree with you. A lot of people want the latest iphone or gadget because everyone else has one, but don't necessarily need it. So many people get caught up in their wants and think that's what they need. so there is a high demand for these products, which causes pollution because factories are constantly making them.

I agree with you, many people want things that they don't need. They also don't worry about thing they need as much as things they want.
