I think the book “The Lorax” was a good example of the “Tragedy of the Commons” in action.
How was it an example of the tragedy of the commons?
I guess, if the trees were owned by everyone and thus by no one, no one could really protest against their harvest.
However, if I were reading this to my kids, I’d point out that a good businessman would make sure to plant more trees as he harvested the existing trees in order to ensure the continuation of his business.
