Tragedy of the Commons Lab - Human Impact on the Environment
In 1968 the Tragedy of the Commons was published. A major principle of the article is the notion that any resource that is open to everyone – such as the air or parts of the ocean – will eventually be destroyed because everyone can use the resource but no one is responsible for preserving it. When people are not compelled to preserve resources for the welfare for future generations, the Tragedy of the Commons occurs. Objective: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how individuals co
