"Tragedy of the Commons" Reflections

Today we played a fishing game which simulated the Tragedy of the Commons.  Your blog post should be one paragraph of summary and one paragraph on reflection.  Not necessarily the reflections we did as part of the lab, but an overall reflection.  Some thoughts to reflect on:

• Your fish harvest was worth money. Why would it be better to have money than fish (i.e. what can you do with money that you can't do with fish?)?
• Think of a local commons that you are familiar with. [parking lots, bathrooms, Cafeteria,, etc.] Do similar situations arise? Explain. HOW might those problems be solved?
• What are some natural resources that are common resources?
• What are the global commons? Are these being used wisely? Why or why not? 
• What can people do to use these resources most wisely?
