Environment - Personal and Surrounding \on National Parks in U.S.\

On February, 18 2012 Vinnytsia English Speaking Club with PC Volunteer Mila as a leader this time had a review of Thursday's Skype Discussion. Moreover, the attendees were engaged in an extra discussion on National Parks. 
By the way, do you think that National Parks are important investments? Then it is a task to you too to get to know about the main purpose of National Parks and realize how important still they are for future generations. 
No doubt, this conversation continued on popular park destinations in the U.S. such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. It was сompleted with thinking about global "preservation" movements and a personal environment.
 Fun Fact of Day: “Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota features the heads of what four U.S. Presidents?” George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Linkoln (http:\\usoarks.about.com).
Review of Thursday's Skype Discussion: What interesting did you learn?

1. Do you think that National Parks are important investments? Why or why not? What is the main purpose of National Parks? Do you think that they are important for future generations?

2. Some “popular” park destinations in the U.S. include Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon, among others. Would you like visit any National Parks? Or would you prefer to go to a lesser-known destination, such as a wildlife preservation or water preservation center? 

3. Are there similar “National Parks” in Ukraine or more specifically in Vinnytsia? If more parks or outdoor spaces were created for preservation, where do you think they should be located and what should they be located and what should they be designed for specifically? 

4. What do you think about environmental preservation? Do you believe in global “preservation” movements? In general, what is good and bad for the surrounding environment? Are there good measures for environmental preservation in Vinnytsa? Would you make any changes? 

5. Aside from the physical environment, what kind of personal environment do you like to surround yourself with? How does your personal environment affect your mood and productivity? Does the space around you change your interactions with others? Are you strongly affected by the environment, both physical and personal? How?
