Mind mapping is the best way to explore new ideas. Placing the topic of interest in the center and having words or pictures branching off the topic. So I gave it a try. I noticed throughout my writing an emerging theme correlated with being outside. It also occurred on my mind map and it will be one of the two topics I want to further investigate. One is the psychological effects of being in green space. I noticed within myself, my friends, and some research that being outside in nature changes mood and has several other effects on the brain, which is the reason why green spaces are in urban settings. My other topic is conservation of green spaces. Conserving nature is one of the many problems we face today. With so many people and so little space already developed to expand we are claiming more and more land for ourselves leaving little for people to enjoy. Conserving green spaces saves habitats for the animals we push away and creates spaces where we can be one with nature. That's why we have national parks across the country, its out attempt to save land that once use to stretch across the country. Sorry for the small picture but click it to enlarge it.
