#Common-Pool Resource

A common-pool resource is the grand experimental arena where humanity, assured of equal shares, turns into a free-for-all until every last drop is plundered. Without the magic shield of regulation, everyone revels in the freedom to loosen their purse strings and ignore the welfare of others. All that remains is a depleted ocean and a hollow sense of ethical achievement. Yet in our truest form, we chant sustainability with our lips while reaching for that final, irrecoverable unit.
