Environmental Disasters in History

By Arjun Singh

The case studies below will aim to show a direct effect of the

Tragedy of the Commons⁠

and it’s disruption to society. The reason for this to look at alternate ways of attaining desirable outputs for the environment, rather than relying on a small group of people (the government) to do so.

If we fail to learn about environmental disasters, we are bound to repeat the same mistakes that cost not only the environment but everything it is connected with. It’s important now more than ever to apply a forward thinking framework to strategize effective solutions for the long term.

Keeping the goal of Naam in mind, the path towards this involves striving for the highest awareness and becoming Ik with the environment around you. Ignorance to this is surely a death of the consciousness.

Conclusion

After reflecting on the insights taken from these case studies, it’s clear that learning from past environmental disasters is crucial to avoid the same mistakes in the future. Critical thinking and implementation should be the first priority to engage in long term planning.

In conclusion, the case studies serve as a testament to the pitfalls of the "Tragedy of the Commons" alongside emphasizing the importance of strategizing alternative planning. Embracing innovative solutions allows for a sustainable and healthy future for the environment and everything it is linked to, including human health, economic prosperity, ecosystems, biodiversity, disease regulation, climate change, social justice, resources sustainability, cultural value, aesthetics, and global interconnectedness.
