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 and Needs
I do not have a cell phone or a mp3 player but I do get lot’s of video games. I get controllers and new video games for my birthday and Christmas. I sometimes buy games on my own. But playing these games, the video games use a lot of electricity which is made from mostly power plants which produce CO2. Ways of breaking addictions is to try to find other things you enjoy(that does not include technology). Try to find some hobbies like gardening. Play more board games and sports to minimize use of electricity. Everyone who has these addictions can all work together to minimize CO2 use.
