Tragedy of the Commons Garrett Hardin

Garrett Hardin – Economist Authored essay in 1968 titled “The Tragedy of the Commons”. Focuses on: 1. environmental degradation 2. population growth 3. limited natural resources 4. privatization of land

What does commons mean? “Held in common” means the resource is owned by: No one…or Owned by a group =all who have access to the resource.

What are common resources? 1. Air! No one owns the air-avail to all 2. Water in oceans & rivers is avail to all. 3. Fish of the sea avail to all.

Common Resources

Imagine… Hardin’s parable involves a pasture "open to all." He asks us to imagine the grazing of animals on a common ground. Individuals are motivated to add to their flocks to increase personal wealth.

Tragedy of the Commons Every animal added to the total degrades the commons a small amount. Although the degradation for each additional animal is small, the gain in wealth for the owner is greater.

Tragedy of the Commons As selfish stewards, each owner adds another to their flock and the pasture. If all owners follow this pattern the commons will ultimately be destroyed.

Tragedy of the Commons As a result, the commons were overgrazed and degenerated to the point that they were no longer able to support the villagers' cattle. This failure of owner of these private lands to preserve the natural resources is known as "the tragedy of the commons."

What is the “tragedy”? “We can avoid tragedy only by altering our values.” Hardin, 1968 This means we can change the way we live (sustainably) by preserving our natural resources—even in the private sector.

Sustainability… Meeting present needs of today’s populations without compromising the needs of future generations.

Copy in data tables 1&2 into your lab notebook. Answer all analysis questions. Make sure to include the questions and answers.

Go Fish! Activity Write a summary paragraph about your experience during the activity. Note people’s behavior and the end result. Describe something in your life(that you are familiar with) that could be considered a “commons”. How can it be exploited? What measures have happened that ensure that it will not be exploited.
