By any standard, the global war on drugs has been an abject failure. Since the "war" was declared by President Richard Nixon in 1971, we have spent over £1tn trying to eradicate drugs from our societies. Yet the criminal market continues to grow, driving unimaginable levels of profit for organised crime.

tragedy of the commons

As Mr. Hardin stated in his Tragedy of the Commons, people in the past thought that they could mine, cut down trees...since they thought that this wouldn't impact them directly and the profit that could be gained was more beneficial. However, now we see that it costs more to combat global warming than it would have to prevent it from happening.

this article talks about how Curitiba is trying (as usual) to not waste the scarce resources that we have by reducing (or trying to reduce) the combustion of fossil fuels so Curitiba (and many parts of Brazil) is taking one step closer of being a sustainable place.this articles also shows that the people who are producing this product analyzed what the people in the urban areas want most (transportation)and then tried to meet there needs, so the demand for this product is great and may mean that the materials used to make a regular car are used to make BRTs
