2. A Common Tragedy

3.  What are the three types of resources?  What is the Tragedy of the Commons?  What are the different types of Pollution?  What are the solutions for Pollutions?

4.  Natural Capital are those in the environment or those obtained in the environment. ◦ Food, Water, Air, Shelter, Petroleum, etc.  A Resource is anything obtained from the environment to meet our needs and wants.  Three types of resources: ◦ Perpetual ◦ Renewable ◦ Nonrenewable

5.  Perpetual Resources ◦ Renewed continuously  Solar Energy  Renewable Resources ◦ On a human time scale, a resource that is renewed quickly (from hours to 100 years) through natural processes as long as it is not used faster than it is renewed.  Forests, grasslands, wild animals, water, air, and soil ◦ Sustainable yield and environmental degradation

6.  Nonrenewable Resources ◦ A resources that exist in a fixed quantity inside the crust. ◦ Can be renewed in millions to billions of years through geologic processes.  Coal, oil, and natural gas, metallic minerals, and non metallic minerals  Ways to prevent loss of NR resources? ◦ Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

7.  There are three types of property ◦ Private Property ◦ Common Property  Parks  Village Farms  The Common area of a dorm ◦ Open-Access Property  Clean Air  Underground water supplies  Open Ocean and its fish

8.  In 1968, biologist Garrett Hardin called the degradation of OAP the Tragedy of the Commons (TotC). ◦ “If I do not use this resource, someone else will. The little bit that I use or pollute is not enough to matter, and anyway, it’s a renewable resource.”  What’s wrong with this statement?

9.  With the overuse of resources, Pollution is created.  Pollution is anything in the environment that is harmful to the health, survival, or activities of humans or other organisms.

10.  Two Sources of Pollution ◦ Point Source ◦ Nonpoint Source  Two Types of Pollution ◦ Biodegradable ◦ Nonbiodegradable  What are the unwanted effects of pollution?

11.  Pollution Cleanup ◦ Output pollution Control  Pollution Prevention ◦ Input Pollution Control
