Precautionary principle
I've written in here
before about the impact of
Sandra Steingraber's book "
Living downstream" had on me. Today I was sent a link to
an essay Jeremy Rifken has written in the
Guardian that talks about the ways in which the European Union is working to establish "precautionary principles" as the basis for their environmental policy concerning the chemical industry. Hurray for the EU! I wish that we were as enlightened in the US. We really need to establish something similar here. Read Sandra's book for the details of why.
