If each of the four villagers takes one fish per day, what happens to the pond population the next day?

It decreases to zero.

It stays the same as the previous day.

It doubles.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

2.

What key feature defines a tragedy of the commons?

Benefits and costs are equally shared among all individuals

The resource regenerates faster than it is used

An individual can benefit privately while spreading negative effects across the larger population

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

3.

What caused the fishing village to fall into the "tragedy of the commons" in this example?

Individuals act in short-term self-interest, taking extra fish.

The fish stop reproducing naturally.

Fishermen cannot count fish correctly.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

4.

What is the concluding lesson the video emphasizes about solutions to the tragedy of the commons?

Short-term gain for one person is always better than long-term planning.

What is good for the community is also good for each individual when commons problems apply.

There is no possible solution to commons problems.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

5.

What is a natural resource?

New technology invented by humans

Helpful man-made objects

Something found in nature that is useful to humans

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

6.

Which type of resource do humans tend to live by?

mineral

water

energy

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

7.

Which type of resource can replenish itself in less than a human's lifetime?

Renewable resources

Non-renewable resources

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

8.

Which type of resource will not come back within a human lifetime?

Renewable

Non-renewable

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

9.

What are the 3 main non-renewable resources used by humans?

coal

oil

natural gas

wind

water

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

10.

What is a fossil fuel?

Fuel made from fossils

Fuel used by dinosaurs

Fuel made from the remains of ancient plants and animals

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

11.

What is the benefit of using renewable resources instead of fossil fuels?

They are inexpensive to use

They will decrease greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

They are sustainable and won't run out

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

12.

What type of energy can photovoltaic cells capture and convert to electricity?

Solar

Wind

Water

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

13.

What type of renewable resource besides solar is also powered by the sun?

Hydropower

Wind

Geothermal

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

14.

What is the biggest issue with solar and wind energy?

The availability of the Sun and wind

Wind turbines and solar panels take up too much space

They produce greenhouse gases

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

15.

What powers a hydroelectric dam?

Water

Sun

Wind

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

16.

What is used to produce geothermal energy?

Remains of ancient plants and animals

Heat from inside the Earth

Stored chemical energy

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

17.

What is used to produce energy from biomass?

Heat from inside the Earth

Stored chemical energy

The remains of ancient plants and animals

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

18.

What is "environmental economics"?

Preventing anyone from using natural resources

Using natural resources for maximum prosperity and growth

Balancing our desire for prosperity and growth with the need to protect our natural resources

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

19.

Which concept explains why countries might not have strong incentives to reduce emissions on their own?

Tragedy of the Commons

Comparative advantage

Supply-side economics

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

20.

What policy tools can governments use to speed up adoption of cleaner energy?

Fossil fuels bans

Subsidies, taxes, and regulations

Public service announcements

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

21.

What is "cap and trade"?

A system where governments cap prices and trade goods internationally

A subsidy program for renewable energy companies

A permit market that limits total pollution and lets firms buy/sell permits

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

22.

What is the "rebound effect"?

People may use more energy overall after efficiency improvements because behavior changes.

Energy-efficient actions always reduce total emissions with no exceptions.

New technologies rebound in price after initial subsidies end.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}

23.

What will be most effective to solve environmental issues?

A mix of policies, technology development, industry change, and consumer behavior is needed.

Only international treaties can fix the problem; local action is pointless.

Individual action alone is enough.
