Wants or Needs?

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?

Want or Need? carbon footprint

Sometimes when you are getting something extra, for example bacon on a cheeseburger, maybe ask yourself do I really need this? Or do I jut want it. Some things like the example, if you didn't get it, it would lower your carbon footprint, helping the climate.

i agree. same with clothes, ask yourself do I really need this or will it just end up hanging in my closet forever after a week of using it.

I totally agree? We all should learn to how to attenuate our need to shop unnecessary items. As someone who tends to hoard, I can say that material objects don't completely satisfy my desire. Instead of spending time on superficiality we can all do something that benefits us that doesn't contribute to our carbon footprint.

I agree with what y'all have said so far. I too have a problem with holding onto clothing items forever and I think I need to get better at learning how to sort through and donate clothes more often. I also think I should do more thrift shopping instead of buying new clothes because it's better for the environment and thrift stores are fun!
