The Tragedy of the Commons describes what happens when people take as much as they can from a shared resource without thinking of the consequences, leading to the depletion of that resource. In What Happened to the Fish in the Lake?, fishers live happily around a lake for years until they start to take more fish than they have need for. Over time, the fish dwindle and disappear. What will the fishers do now? This inspirational story highlights the need for all of us to come together to protect and sustain the environment and the Earth’s natural resources for current and future generations.

"We should teach children the fundamental concepts of environmental sustainability, as presented in the Tragedy of the Commons, thereby empowering them to think from a young age, the effects of what we do, to the environment."

- Prof Kiu-wai Chu, Assistant Professor, Environmental Humanities Nanyang Technological University
