Welcome to Rachel's Precaution Reporter
Welcome to the first issue of Rachel's Precaution Reporter,
intended to keep readers informed about the precautionary
principle as it spreads world-wide and throughout the U.S.
Slow Down, You Move Too Fast
Donella Meadows asked, How should we proceed when the way ahead
is murky? Speed up or slow down?
Precaution for Breast Cancer Means Research into Causes
For more than a decade, breast cancer activists have led the
way, demanding a precautionary approach to environmental
threats to human health.
Please Be Careful
This sophisticated attack on the precautionary principle says
it will undermine democracy, restrict trade, and increase
baseless government regulations.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Rachel's Precaution Reporter offers news, views and practical
examples of the Precautionary Principle, or Foresight Principle,
in action. The Precautionary Principle is a modern way of making
decisions, to minimize harm. Rachel's Precaution Reporter tries
to answer such questions as, Why do we need the precautionary
principle? Who is using precaution? Who is opposing precaution?
Rachel's Precaution Reporter is published as often as necessary
to provide readers with up-to-date coverage of the subject.
As you come across stories that illustrate the precautionary
principle -- or the need for the precautionary principle --
please Email them to us at rpr@rachel.org.
