Surfing waves are a great example of a #commons, complete with local rules for who is allowed to ride the waves. But in the age of Instagram and social media, these rules are breaking down. 1/12

Surfing waves are a commons - a resource that is rival and non-exclusive. If unregulated, they can be overused.
"An overcrowded wave means fewer waves for everyone, and the one-surfer-per-wave etiquette tends to break down, leading to accidents and confrontations." 2/12

Regular surfers collaborate to establish and enforce rules to avoid overuse.
"Some surfers have long guarded against this situation by enforcing their own rules at their local spots, deciding who can catch waves and making those rules crystal clear to newcomers." 3/12

#EarthDay is a great opportunity to reflect on Elinor #Ostrom’s legacy. She showed that people can collaborate to sustain shared resources. Individual action is important, but collective action can achieve much more. Here are some essays I wrote about Ostrom and our environment.
Crises of the Commons: Elinor Ostrom’s legacy of self-governance
The lessons from her research – local institutions for governing commons and polycentric governance across scales – led Ostrom to tackle the most vexing challenge: climate change (@csgskcl)

Congested, Contested, and Competitive: Are we running out or room in outer space?
Space is critical to modern life on Earth. Policy makers are finding ways to sustain and manage our shared space resources. And they are drawing on Ostrom's ideas. @IP_URP

In our current reality, this is basically an extension of the oil/gas industry's long playbook of shifting responsibility to the individual.
But in the reality we must create for collective, comprehensive #ClimateAction, it's actually 1 of many needed multilevel strategies. 1/

Here are a several articles/podcasts discussing what it may take to create this collective, comprehensive #ClimateAction. Similar actions are really needed for other major issues, like the wealth gap, institutional racism & the pandemic.

It's good to see more explicit examinations of the behavioral strategies for reducing transmission. IMO, this is key & has so far been inadequately addressed. In addition to what's covered here, there's a critical element of scale involved. 1/

Solutions will vary at the building vs community vs larger scales.
For the enabling behaviors discussed here, it's important to recognize that effort is also needed to understanding the associated cultural & regional nuances relative to norms & expectations. 2/

Existing inequities must also be considered. This is all necessary for developing the best contextual solutions.
And shaming, implemented in a superficial manner divorced from other strategies, will more often than not be ineffective if not counterproductive. 3/

1/3: The 1st premise of @FutureEarth's D^2S agenda nails it, though I wouldn't use the word "perhaps". It absolutely is a social challenge more than anything else.

2/3: 2nd premise are important components for contextually implementing, at larger scales, #Ostrom's principles for optimizing #cooperation within & between groups. I'd encourage @FutureEarth to look at what the @EvoInstitute institute is doing at Prosocial.world.

2/5: evolutionary scholars/practitioners would argue such things work because they're a key component of Elinor #Ostrom's 1st design principle, having a strong group identity (shared identity & purpose), while also playing a role in the...

1/3: I need to add @julia_watson_'s book to my list. Indigenous technologies are often forms of #biomimicry that are already tried and true. Could even view adapting forms of indigenous technologies as a type of biomimicry itself. #builtenvironment

2/3: I bet one could also view contextual applications of Lo-TEK as an outcome of, or partially constrained by, indigenous communities unknowing applications of Elinor #Ostrom's 8 principles in their efforts to protect local "commons" for the long term good of the communities.
3/3: That would be an interesting set of studies, knowing that our contemporary environments often unwittingly work against these principles (also divorcing of from the rest of the natural world in the process).

2/5: "...engineer more benign social environments w/ simple, targeted taxes & subsidies, calibrated to amplify contagion effects, rather than w/ complex, intrusive regulation," we'll have to look at integrating such measures w/in a multi-level selection evolutionary framework.
3/5: A prominent example of this is Prosocial.world's application of Elinor #Ostrom's eight principles of cooperative behavior w/in this evolutionary framework, in a scalable manner. Also take a look at the following: amazon.com/This-View-Life… & amazon.com/Prosocial-Evol…

2/5: quoting Andrew Winston: "The climate crisis is upon us, and there’s no time to wait for voluntary corporate action to tackle the challenge. We need the collective will that government provides. Many in business will rebel against this idea, but we are long past the point..."
3/5: "where free markets alone could solve the challenge in time (if such a possibility ever even existed)."

1/4: I particularly like the discussion of our need to use "...new models for financially servicing development that incorporate adaptive reuse, and new models for historic preservation that consider a conservation of energetics."

2/4: Such a shift requires that long term factors - long term costs & benefits that impact not just individuals & companies, but also communities & societies - outweigh narrow short term factors, like an organization's annual profit margins.
3/4: I've written elsewhere how the #Prosocial process, #Ostrom's 8 principles, quantifying health/productivity impacts, & quantifying the social costs of carbon, can help drive that in the AEC Industry. Many of the articles at @EvonomicsMag & @tvolmag are also good resources.
