COME TO THE 1ST NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PRECAUTION JUNE 9-11

[Rachel's introduction: On to Baltimore! Big, important conference
scheduled for June 9-11. A decade of struggle by environmental
justice and toxics activists thrust the precautionary principle into
the spotlight. Now the U.S. Chamber of Commerce formally opposes it.
The Bush Administration hates it. The American Chemistry Council
denounces it. Yet it's spreading like the wind, spilling over into
land-use, sprawl, housing, and control of local economies for the
benefit of local people. Who knows where this could end? On to
Baltimore!]
