tragedy of the commons

The unfortunate predicament caused when a public resource, such as a natural resource like land or game, is consumed by everyone but maintained by no one.

Everyone feels they have the right to consume because they are part of the public, but no one feels it their responsibility to maintain it because they are not individually accountable.

Cosmo

The greatest boy in the world, cares more for his hair than anything else. Loves everyone and anything, always be there for me.

Doesn't matter what sex you are, he is always easy to talk, Hates keeping things from people, if they need he will tell him.
He can't lie to someone, it's impossible for him to do that. He loves dogs, and humans.
He's the person to turn to if you are ever in doubt. Even if you are going out with him, you can talk to him about anything about the relationship.

He is also known as the fairy god parent from the 'fairy god parents'
