About the Commons
The commons is actually a simple notion, but advocates say it has huge ramifications for how we lead our lives, maintain our communities and organize our society in the years to come. The commons refers to a wealth of valuable assets that are no one’s individual property. Instead, activists say, those resources belong to all of us and should rightfully be used and protected for the benefit of everyone, including future generations.
