Thank you!
It's true—responsibility is lacking modernly. Some say it is human nature not to take care of something you don't own. I believe that by having a partial financial stake in something, people are likely to take better care of its resources. This mitigates the tragedy of the commons, but also corporate waste. Even if the financial stake isn't enough, that's what the membership agreement is for! :D

Absolutely agree!!! I believe by expanding the sense of self to encompass "other" peoples "things" is the only way to avoid mis-use of shared resources!
