What is the commons? Why does the concept of the commons mean that governments, instead of private individuals or

companies must take action to manage our natural resources?



What will be an ideal response?


The commons refers to natural resources that are owned by the group, but not really owned by any individual
or business: public lakes, oceans, national forests, parks, the atmosphere, and the like. Governments must accept
responsibility for managing the commons because there is no economic or biological incentive for any individual
to do so.
