Are there aspects of your daily life that you know contribute to your carbon footprint but you are unwilling to compromise to change them? In other words, what about your life is “off the table” when it comes to carbon emissions? It's OK to admit it- we all have these cherished behaviors!

Technology Off the Table?
In today's impending society, we encounter technology on a daily basis. In our homes, in our schools and in our workplaces. It has come to the point where technology is a necessity. It is something we need to function and complete work with ease and efficiency. And, it is there to make our lives easier. It provides us with many resources and gives us means to being more social people. Even so, the “need” for the latest piece in technological development is more of a want than a need.
I agree with you in today’s world we could not live without technology, but technology is both a good and bad thing. It keeps us connected with people who live around the world. Technology is also used to form new types of renewable and/or forms of clean energy, Nuclear power plants are run by computers. Technology also is a learning tool. The internet quickly provides us with answers whenever. (if it is accurate or not that is another story) It can become a negative thing when it is used for things such as bullying. Social media can be the hub for things such as this. I have also found while writing my English paper that people on some forms of social media are using social media to help encourage people to keep on with their eating disorders. I think some parts of technology are a need but some parts are not. Things such as the creation of clean energy is a need but social media is not.
