Find a common (i.e., a shared resource) that is tragic (i.e., is inevitably degraded) in your own life. It may be something that you observe in your town, job, school, or home, but it must have the elements of a "Tragedy of the Commons." Explain who shares this resource and why do they share it? Explain how these people use the resource for their own individual gain and show how the result is the depletion of the resource. What ideas do you have to improving the situation and enabling long-term sustainability of the resource? Who would it take to implement such changes? What challenges would those people face and how could they be helped? Find a common (i.e., a shared resource) that is tragic (i.e., is inevitably degraded) in your own life.
