We are so grateful for the work of Elinor Ostrom who despite the odds against her - persisted to prove that we can and do work together for the common good.
"Many commons have flourished for hundreds of years, even in periods of drought or crisis. Their success can be traced to a community ‘s ability to develop its own flexible, evolving rules for stewardship, oversight of access and usage, and effective punishment for rule breakers." This has been a source of uplifting feelings for me today. Thank you for sharing.
I am grateful that these examples of the commons are referenced: "Ostrom nonetheless showed how, in hundreds of instances, commoners do in fact meet their needs and interests in collective, cooperative ways. The villagers of Törbel, Switzerland, have managed their high alpine forests, meadows and irrigation waters since 1224. Spaniards have shared irrigation waters through huerta social institutions for centuries while, more recently, diverse water authorities in Los Angeles learned how to coordinate their management of scarce groundwater supplies."
