Commons

The Commons refers to resources like air, water, public lands, and the internet that are accessible to everyone. These shared resources are available for public use, but because they are used by many, they require responsible management to avoid depletion or pollution. The concept emphasizes collective ownership and stewardship, encouraging individuals and communities to use these resources sustainably to benefit society as a whole. Proper management of the Commons helps ensure these vital resources remain available and healthy for current and future generations.
