Selection 7 The Tragedy of the Commons

In the beginning of the selection there is a technical solution saying "one that requires a change only in the techniques of the natural sciences, demanding little or nothing in the way of change in human values or ideas of mortality" (Garrett Hardin). For example they use the game tic-tac-toe and say there is no technical solution on winning or losing. Which means you don't really know if your going to win or lose, its a game of chance.  With that said, there is a positive and a negitive effect on the Tragedy of the Commons.  The positive effect would be the addition of one animal, and the negative effect would be the increase of overgrazing done by more than 1 animal.  We also find it easier to pollute our environment than take the extra 2 minutes to pick up the garbage around us.  The last thing I would like to point out, is that eventually if we dont all work together to help the environment the earth could become a diseaster and each family would have to fend for themselves only. We should always be aware of what is going on in the environment so none of this happens.
