I began my employment at Holiday Corporation in 1980, where I served for seven years before the reservation center closed, and the company, eventually moved its headquarters to Atlanta. I was fortunate to have already been employed with FedEx, and have been for nearly thirty years. I recall during the early years in both companies, you could hardly enter any department without observing paper stacked to the rafters. At that particular time, FedEx hired employees just to maintain paper control.

Since 2009, Tesla has sold the third most electric vehicles in Japan. With a market industry share of 12% global sales, annual sales of EVs in Japan falls just behind Europe, the United States, and China. Between July and April of 2016, electric vehicle sales in Japan were 150,142 units, representing 10% of global sales for the same period. Japan’s government now promotes a new form of energy called hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which could be detrimental to the country’s global market share of electric vehicles (Cobb). Toyota’s Vice Chairman, Takeshi Uchiyamada comments that, “The current capabilities of electric vehicles do not meet society’s needs, whether it may be the distance the cars can run, or the costs, or how it takes a long time to charge” (Kubota).
While researching the benefits of each of these solutions, I found enough information to convince me that if Starbucks were to add to their current locations or current services, they would benefit in many ways. I found a number of articles, journals, and statistics showing why Starbucks should add to the services that they already have. Starbucks had recently attempted to add a delivery service to their company in Portland, Oregon. In their attempt to add this, they were looking to add an app to online devices to make ordering their products, easier for their customers. There would also be a flat fee that would be added to every delivery order (Iyendgar, 2014).This information informed me on what Starbucks tried with adding the delivery service.

According to Zelikman (2014), “There are 6.8 billion people on the planet and 4 billion of them use a mobile phone. Only 3.5 billion of them use a toothbrush.” This fact is completely ridiculous, because apparently, roughly 59% of the world has a phone, but only roughly 51% use a toothbrush. Apple, Google, and Microsoft all compete for the success that allows them to thrive. From iOS, to Android, to even Windows Mobile OS, these companies, in attempt to be the best electronic producer and distributor in the world, create the best smart phones, tablets, and computers possible.
The Sun illuminates all parts of our planet, there is no area that does not see sunlight. It is a well-known fact that the Sun gives light and heat to our planet, but it can also give us enough energy to use in everyday life. As climate changes, population grows, and pollution increases, energy demand increases as well. The Sun is the powerful source of energy that can solve the energy crisis the “green” way. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) leads researches about renewable energy.
There’s numerous factors that impact life on Earth, for example an atmosphere. An atmosphere is an envelope of gases surrounding a planet. This is important for current life on Earth.

One theory is that climate change will have a presumably overall positive impact on agriculture.
