But with the production of new inventions and new materials comes at the cost exponential fossil fuel usage. The burning of coal to make energy has caused greenhouse gasses like CO2 and other harmful chemicals to be emitted into the atmosphere. This has caused widespread global temperatures to warm up 1.1 degrees Celsius which has harmed many ecosystems. This has hurt much wildlife (i.e. grizzly bears and wolves) causing mass extinctions and population decreases.  A study conducted by 
EPA. Gov states, "Temperatures are rising, snow and rainfall patterns are shifting, and more extreme climate events – like heavy rainstorms and record high temperatures – are becoming more common. Many of these observed climate changes are linked to rising levels of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, caused by human activities."

The average cost for a 4 year college in state is over 100,000 dollars and if your from out of state a 4-year college or university would cost over 170,000 dollars. This also doesn't include any learning further than this. Majority of people can't afford this. This why some students go to a community colleges, however some students want to go to a 4 year college or university.

The recently diminished Covid-19 virus greatly impacted the US economy, ultimately inflating the prices of almost everything, one of them being chicken feed. The lack of food for birds was detrimental to the cost of eggs, being that production will cost more. This was one of the major factors. Additionally, the Avian flu that spread amongst most bird species in the recent year has drastically lowered the number of chickens that can be used for egg production. Together, these issues made an impactful and noticeable difference in the price of eggs that we are seeing today.]]> 2023-02-03 17:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kcollins173/4nnils0lsbqxehfl/wish/2467854245 https://padlet.com/kcollins173/4nnils0lsbqxehfl/wish/2467854523 The environmental factor of climate change and global warming which affects many different part of the United States.

The firm examines that by 2025 we would have more than 400,000 home health aides and 29,000 nurse practitioners; as well as shortages in other health care professions. The reason to why there are so many shortages are contributed to the aging population which includes the Baby Boomer Generation.
