Interesting article: communication helps manage shared resources

I just read this interesting article in the IU news pages. It's about research conducted by Elinor Ostrum (the IU faculty member who recently won the Nobel Prize in Economics) and others, and it finds that communication can work better than penalties in preventing over-harvesting of shared resources.http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/14395.html I'm not sure what immediate practical implications this has for our group, but I…See More

Profile Information

How are you currently involved in Transition to a post-petroleum lifestlyle?
I hope to facilitate co-operation between Transition transportation initiatives and the work of Bloomington Transportation Options for People (B-TOP)
How do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
The problems Transition is addressing are the most important problems of our time, so I definitely want to further work on these issues in the most efficient way possible. That may or may not be through Transition officially--we'll see.

Hi Elizabeth, I was wondering if you know anything about the current state of the bypass project. I wasn't able to make the last city hall meeting about it, but I heard that the traffic data came out higher than expected and INDOT is going to widen... a lot? I heard somewhere that Steve Volan said he'd keep working with them to do what we can, but I think maybe we should stay involved? Thoughts? I figure the least we can do is ask for some pedestrian bridges... or better bus stops?
