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!
Off the Table? >
Technology?
Technology has evolved and has become a very dependent source for countries all over the world, including the US. Most teens or even children have at least some form of technology. People should lower their uses of technology so that it does not become as big as a problem it already is. Maybe using only the items that are necessary can make a change.
I totally agree with you Bryce! Today, teens especially use technology everywhere. It has taken control over them. With technology evolving, the lack of communication by speaking will occur at some point. People would just be type or texting each other as their form of communication.
I agree that a lot of countries have become dependent on technology, even to accomplish everyday tasks. People shouldn't be so dependent on technology because technology can't help us with everything.
I agree that countries such as united states are so dependent on tech but as for 3 world countries i dont think so
I agree with you because we all teenagers are always on technology and making our brain cell destroyed part of brain that we need for educated and it also taking the time we should spent of doing something that would be the change or that would be really necessary. We all need to take care of our earth from being damaged or being involved with technology. Spend time with helping earth!!!.
As a teen I agree as well because it's so easy to get distracted from what's really important. Now a day, my generation is more concerned with sending a message than paying to attention to what their teacher is discussing in class.
I believe that in this day and age youth are so much more interested in keeping up with newest tech. Sometimes it is better to stick to the old-fashioned ways. If we get to caught up in new tech we will never learn the same again. An example of the old-fashioned way being better is writing instead of typing because you remember more if you write.
I agree, the world should cut down its use of technology. One study found that 53% of children in the United States receive their first phone before the age of six. Giving phones to children under six years old for the most part is unnecessary because they are mostly dependent on their parents at that age for communication. In addition, it exposes them to cellular radiation at a younger age, which heightens there risk in cancer later in life according to the National Cancer Institute. Also, the United States in 2012 created 9.4 metric tons of e-waste. The modern person could have a laptop, ipad, phone, home computer, kindle and TV. The world collectively needs to rethink what technology is necessary and what is not.
I do agree with many that people have become so dependent on technology as years have gone by. But, I don't necessarily believe that technology has had only a negative impact in our environment. Technology has also helped to educate and inform people about the way our environment is being destroyed, and the ways they can change and help to make it better.
