    Overuse

    of

    Common Property Resources

    What is Common Property Resource?


    Common property resources are those with open access.
    Ownership of these resources is either not defined or, by common
    practice, is not exercised; hence, individuals are free to use a common property resource as they wish.

    Overuse of common property resources, a principle also known as tragedy of the commons, is another
    example of a social factor that leads to

    environmental degradation.

    This is based on the

    greed mentality of using or

    getting the available resources for the reasons of If

    I dont use or get this resource, someone else will and The little bit I use or pollute is not enough to matter.

    Examples of Common Property Resources

    Wildlife

    Forests

    Global Scenario of Common Property Resource Overuse

    Convenient

    Modern Lifestyle

    The

    lifestyles are also linked with consumption.

    The modern society is termed consumer society because the level of consumption of various resources, goods and services has gone substantially up in modern times. This is further increasing with the increase in

    development and rising income levels.

    Convenient modern lifestyles and the throwaway society concept are becoming
    so common in urban centers and even in progressive provinces.

    Will you be bringing this?

    When you can actually have this?

    or

    Modern Lifestyle affects the environment when...

    Humans destroy cultivable lands to build infrastructures. Humans overuse the burning of fossil fuel. Humans overuse plastics.

    The use of instant coffee, noodles, diapers, excessive use of styrofoams, and other disposables, the bloom of fastfood stores, and other modern conveniences, are degrading the

    environment because of the air, soil, and water pollution that result.

    Tragedy of Plastics

    ''The

    modern

    day

    lifestyle

    is

    detrimental to other life forms in


    the ecosystem. There is a great need to effect a change in the stance towards

    environment and life style as well.''
