The Tragedy of the Commons
"It is our considered professional judgment that this dilemma has no technical solution
Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit -- in a world that is limited. Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all"
The most important aspect of necessity that we must now recognize, is the necessity of abandoning the commons in breeding (...) it is the role of education to reveal to all the necessity of abandoning the freedom to breed. Only so, can we put an end to this aspect of the tragedy of the commons"
