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?

How long do leave your xbox or ps4 on a day. I would say almost all the time because I leave it in standby mode. I leave all of the light in my house on most of the time too. But what can we really do the change our carbon footprint. Let’s get the carbon decrease bread!
There are many things we can do to decrease our consumption of energy and materials. I would suggest taking public transit, because similar to carpooling, you share the amount of carbon dioxide emissions you produce. Another thing you could do, would be to reduce using one-time products, such as plastic bags. Why not simply bring your own? Also, you can reduce purchasing unnecessary items. Most items we buy, aren't things we need. Many of the shirts from previous years still can be worn, so why not wear them?
Another possible solution would be to take short showers, buy foods with non plastic wrappings, and to not waste food which you buy
