Do we really NEED it?
A lot of times in our technology based world, we say we "need" the newest iPhone or the latest computer. Have you ever wondered what happened to your old phone? Where does it go? According to "Sad facts about Techno trash" (http://www.digitalresponsibility.org/sa … echnotrash) We discard 20 to 50 million tons of techno trash worldwide every year, which amounts to about 5% of all solid waste. When we feel privileged we don't think about the consequences of our actions. All this waste is harming our environment.
