terms

Through readings I found a couple terms to post that probably are in our social media verbage used everyday.

Commons: a general term for shared resources in which each stakeholder has equal interest.

Common-Pool: (CPRs) resoures that are natural or man made where one person's use subtracts from anothers person's use and where it is often necessary, but difficult and costly, to exclude other users outside the group from using the resources.

Andrew, if you could give me an example of common-pool. Not quite sure what that means.

  1. Hi Kimberly,

    A couple examples of common pool resources could be a river which is diverted for irrigation, a pasture which is used for grazing, or trees that are cut down for firewood. Let's talk in class...
