It seems like today, people want the best and newest version of basic day items. For example, if someone NEEDS a car, they WANT a Lamborghini. If someone NEEDS a phone, they WANT an iPhone X. Although it is impractical to give in to these wants, we do every time we can. Most of our wants are from big corporate companies, who contribute a lot of pollution to Earth's atmosphere. I read an article from 2017 about how just 100 companies are responsible 71% of global emissions. This article can be found here: https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable … ate-change. I hypothesize that by putting less care into materialistic items and not always turning to big companies, we can lower the number of greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere. For example, walking more instead of driving. Getting sustainable cellphones so we won't have to buy new ones every three years. We coul d also recycle phones or make cell phones out of biodegradable material. This makes me wonder: until we can create biodegradable cell phones, what other wants can we limit to lower our carbon footprints?
