Presented at Lamont Open House Sat Oct 4, 2008

In this activity participants will examine how they use to make decisions about the environment. They will be introduced to common pool resources or a resource (like the lake in this game) that is difficult to exclude people from using. Participants will also learn about free riders, people/groups that consume more than their fair share of a resource or shoulder less than a fair share of the costs of its production.
